go with the evga x58. I got an evga x58 3x sli, and I'm one happy camper, it was cheap enough but still had room for triple sli and lots of raid options. I recommend saving money on the processor and going with a perhaps the 920 bloomfield or something cheaper. You'll will likely not need even come close to really tasking that processor, and you'll save a ton of money. 920 bloomfield is hyperthreaded and overclockable to 4.0ghz easy. spend a little money on a nice aftermarket cpu cooler instead.

The problem is that you've decided to build one of the most expensive systems that you can. Obviously it'd be nice but so it should be at the price. You can build a pretty good system much cheaper. For example, you could use a Core i7 950 and a single GTX480 and you'd save a lot of cash - plus it'd still run any game that you can currently buy at maximum detail settings and resolution. The i7 950 can be overclocked by quite a bit with good cooling, plus if you still buy a motherboard with 3 PCI Express slots then you keep open the option of adding extra cards later.
