[SOLVED] Please recommend an LGA 1150 motherboard that supports two x16 PCIe cards

[ChuckB22]

I have a Dell XPS 8700 and I need to install a Black Magine HDMI capture card but it requires a x16 PCIe slot, which is already used by my graphics card. What is a good motherboard that I can swap my CPU , RAM, etc onto that will support both a Nvidia 1060 and a Black Magic 4K capture card? The computer will be running 24/7 as a webcam streaming/repeating server with Ubuntu Linux.
Thanks

EDIT: I will be buying a generic ATX case to swap everything into.

You might want to mention the SKU to your Dell XPS 8700 or the Service Tag for the unit. From this information, you should be able to source a Z87 or Z97 chipset motherboard. You might need to factor in the PSU that came shipped with the prebuilt Dell.

Z87 or Z97 board will be required.
Keep in mind - using 2 PCIE x16 cards will switch them into x8 operation mode.

I'll try to get the SKU, the computer is located next to the camera at a remote location.

I guess the Black Magic card says either a x4, x8 or x16 slot will work. I was just hoping to find a motherboard that could do two x16 cards to be safe, I guess a x16 and x4 motherboard would work according to their specs though.
I will be streaming a Panasonic GH4 at 4K so I wanted to be safe.
I'm using the GPU at the same time to perform color enhancement on the camera video before streaming it to youtube. So I need the GPU to work at full speed.

Which one of these two motherboards would be better?

GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-D3H LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

ASUS Z87-PRO (V EDITION) LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Either is fine.
Get one, whichever costs less.

The photos I see of the motherboard show a X4 slot which is open ended.
Your Black magic card which is X16 in size should fit in that slot and operate at X4 speed.

You might try the card first and then decide if you need to swap motherboards.
