Good motherboard for sli?

[Hallowhead]

Hello i am soon getting dual 570's and i want to sli them and my current motherboard does not support sli, can i have some good solid suggestions that have two express 2.0's and 1 express 3.0. Usb 3.0 would be nice too! With the new z68 chip

also should my gtx 560 be in the 3.0 spot then right now? because i have that msi board.. will it run better?

Yes, the 3.0.

Yes, the 3.0.

i am going to be doing that tomorrow, will it improve performance by a lot?

perhaps listing your full specs of your current rig would be helpful. It seemed that you were planing to build a new build.

If you have a gtx 560 you could simply buy another 560 and have performance exceed that of a gtx 580.

in my pci ports only my gpu..

I thought u have 2 GPU's. Shouldn't be the GPU plugged in the slot closest to the CPU?

I am a little confused. I only have one gpu a 560 but I want to upgrade to 2 570s
What do you mean by shouldnt be the gpu plugged closest to the CPU? You mean it should be plugged closest to the CPU?

I thought u had 2 of them. U will use those 2 blue ones. The PCIE 3.0 will run as 2.0

Okay will it get better performance at all? And still the two 570 will run Better on that other board you recommended right? Or would they be fine on here?

ASRock will provide far better performance due to full use of both x16 lanes.
