I am putting together a desktop first time & need help.

I am looking for a Motherboard with minimum of 4 PCIe x16 slots for 3 Low Profile ATI Video cards & one ATI Radeon 6870 Card & should work with Intel I-7 2600K Processor.

As long as all 4 slots run at minimum 8X speed is fine.

Also need suggestions for a good Brand RAM ( 16 GB ) + PSU ( 750W) & Case.

Budget is Flexible but need Reliable system.

Thanks

You have 16 PCIe lanes on a 1155 (i.e Sandy bridge) mobo. Looking for one with 4 x8 ports isn't going to happen because if you actually fit 4 cards (and I can't for the life of me figure out why you would need to) you will run x4 x4 x4 x4. If you actually need to run at x8 x8 x8 x8 you need a 1333 or 2011 mobo but will pay for the privilege.
