Default GTX 260 c216 SLI MOBO?? Need Suggestion

I have only 1 260 core 216, but when I need to upgrade I'm going to SLI it. These are fat cards, and I'm just not sure what MOBO would have enough space between the PCIE slots for one.. Suggestions?

almost all newer boards will leave space. just get one that the PCIE slots are not right up against each other.

you should go to User CP> add system and fill out your system specs.

All new SLI boards will have enough space between PCI-Ex16 slots to house a couple of those cards. However, what are your system specs? I don't want to recommend the wrong mobo to you if I don't know what processor you have.

I'm running dual GTX 260s on an EVGA 750i FTW and am loving it. It's got space for one PCI card between the cards where I've put my wireless card, and one open PCI-E x1 slot above the first card where I'm planning on putting a sound card.

System: Serious Business FTW!
