Hello Spitfire.
Let's start with the case first:
Antec 900 is on sale at Newegg. It's plenty big for cooling and fitting huge video cards in SLI.
$90 - $10 Rebate - $10 promo code + $0 shipping = only $70 !!!
$10 off w/ promo code EMCJHHC27, ends 1/2

For a worthy motherboard, I would look at the Asus gaming boards.
They have a really slick UEFI (was BIOS) interface no one else has.
Good boards. The 2 I have picked run PCI-E @ 8x8. Not all boards do this.
ASUS P8Z68-V

ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
The Maximus is double the price of the P8Z68,
Check out the features and see what you like/need.
I hope this helps,
Hal.
