Currently looking for new mobo

[sandyd]

Im currently looking for a new mobo for my computer, because it seems to have developed an huge issue with the RAM (It apparently only accepts one stick of DDR3 at a time now....)

Im looking for something that can support up to....

CPU: Core i7 (socket B 1366)
Memory: 4 slots (4 x 2GB DDR3) @ 2200
PCI-Express: minimum 3 + room for the Graphics card fans

Slot 1: Nvidia GTX
Slot 2: Nvidia GTX
Slot 3: Creative XFI Titanium (for studio use)

Onboard RAID (1)
Hopefully Sata III (3GB/S), and USB 3.0, Esata, physx

I won't be upgrading this machine a lot, since its my gaming machine, so Im going to be maxing out the components, but I might think of giving the dual SLi cards to my cousin and getting some new ones that support 3D....

oh, and no need to worry about cooling, I got liquid cooling for my case a long time ago.

something like this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5376741&CatId=4068 but with ESata, USB 3.0 and 4 DIMM slots?

(only reason i posted the link for that one is because of the PCIe X16 slots, 7 total)

edit: also worth checking: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6077058&CatId=4068

This bad boy is expensive but I own one and its worth every penny. Not only does this bad boy have every Bios Feature you want! ITs got TWO SEPARATE BIOS CHIPS. Trust me overclocking on this guy is a dream because if the first crashes the second just undoes the overclocking!!!!!!
And all the new ports and stuff on the back!

This actually looks really good, and is exactly what im looking for.
theirs something im curious about though...


(Note: For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots)

2 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x8 (PCIEX8_1/PCIEX8_2)

(Note: The PCIEX8_1 and PCIEX8_2 slots share bandwidth with the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots espectively. When PCIEX8_1 is populated with an expansion card, the PCIEX16_1 slot will operate at up to x8 mode; when PCIEX8_2 is populated with an expansion card, the PC IEX16_2 slot will operate at up to x8 mode)

price range?

anywhere under $450, I recently got a huge bonus as part of my promotion, so Im trying to get the best parts to last as long as possible.
