I would like you opinions on which mother board to get. The system i'm building will be as follows

Case: Coolermaster HAF 932

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 D0

RAM: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 6GB (3x2GB)(1600MHz)

Graphics Card: ASUS ATI Radeon HD 4890

PSU: Corsair Memory 750W TX SERIES ATX

CPU Cooler: - Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler 8 Heat Pipe

DVD Drive: Samsung SH-S222A

HHD: Western Digital Caviar 500GB

Wireless Card Edimax 802.11n draft 2.0 PCI

But can't decide which motherboard.

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5

Foxconn Bloodrage GTI

Asus Rampage II Gene

EVGA Classified

EVGA X58 SLI LE

EVGA X58 3x SLI

I want be able to upgrade the graphics cards to 2x Nvida 295's or possible 3x 295's a later date. with 12gbs of RAM. But can't decide which is best for price vs performance. I will also be over clocking.
 
I think the maximum number of GTX 295s you can have together is two. If you are overclocking be aware that the 12GB of ram will make that more difficult.

If you have the cash, the EVGA Classified is probably the absolute best performer, but ten again it is pretty expensive.
 
I think you can use three... Quad SLI and then have the third one as a wastefully pointlessly overpowered physics card.
 
Oh yeah, didn't think of that, but it would be a waste really. If you plan to put loads of 295s in, you may want a bigger power supply as well.
