You want to get a P35 or X38 chipset, don't get a Sli motherboard unless you will use it right away. P35 and X38 are compatible with Crossfire... Err, good choices include the Gigabyte GA-P35-XXXX or Abit IP-35 XXX for P35. I'm not sure about X38, but I don't think they offer too much more performance compared to P35.

It might help narrow the choices down if we knew your budget.

Off topic, please use the enter key in your next post, that paragraph is a bit hard to read.
