What would be you're recommendations for a mobo capable of taking 3 660ti on similar GPU's. Must also have a socket free for a wireless card.

I am a fan of Asus high end boards at the moment. I have a few and they are all rock solid and fast.

Agreed, it's an ASUS p8 z77-v lx i've got on the main cruncher. Great board just, as seems to be the case with most, only 2 pci express slots and with dual width GPU's in place, there's not a lot of room left for much else. I have a 3rd GPU in the pci slot which only fitted due to the use of a hacksaw and the loss of half it's heat sink :shock: :lol: :lol: Mounted a case fan above it and it runs the coolest of the 3 !!!!

I looked at it a few times but decided it was overkill for what I needed. I went with a P8.

Tis a bit of over kill but i'm dreaming of 4 shiny new GTX 660 TI's warming the house up :wink: :wink: Pity I have to buy a new 7 1/2 ton lorry for horse transportation first !!!! Happy wife, happy life and all that :shock:
Price not all that different on Amazon anyway and it does have built in Wifi so that's a saving there....... Asus P8Z77-V Premium was my other choice and it's actually more expensive. So do I wait a bit or just have a few mojeto's and hit the one press buy option :twisted:
