    As far as your need is concerned I will advise to buy Asus P6X58D-E motherboard. It support the features of Crossfire and it have compatibility with core i7-950 processor and it also support USB 3.0 features with up to 32GB RAM compatibility. I am using P6X58D-E on my Core i7 930 with 4200 MHz 1.35v w/Noctua NH-D14 along with Windows Vista 64Bit Service Pack 2. So it is the best for your compatibility. And in addition it comprises of an excellent over clocking ability and it utilizes less power as compared to all other Motherboards. And it is affordable.

    I am not looking for the motherboard that should have well over clocking ability if it less then also it is OK for me. My query is that although by means of 2 6870s, it will obtain up 2 slots, so will there still be space to place my PCI soundcard in Asus P6X58D-E motherboard? From my thinking it will have to place in to facilitate slot nearby to the CPU? And also if you have better suggestion of buying 8GB RAM then please post that. .. I am thinking to have G.Skill RAM

    If are looking for the PCI sound card with the purpose of force you to use the base 2 PCI express 16x slots for CF that will execute at 8x approach, which is fine you will not drop any performance. And regarding RAM I will always give preference to corsair, because I am using corsair from the time when I have bought my first system. And I have never faced any problem. And it is always good to deal with such brands. And I didn't have any experience of using G.Skill, but it is also good brand.
