Buy Best M-ATX Motherboard for 2xGTX1060 - Quarterlom - 02-23-2018

Hi there!

I want to rebuild my current desktop and add another 1060 6Gb to my system. The thing is that my motherboard has 1 single PCIEx3.0 slot and my case only supports Micro-ATX motherboards.

I want to buy another one with 2 PCIe slots, but has I bought the computer already built, i'm not really sure about what manufacturer should I buy to enable SLI in my system which has an H4 Socket.

I’m living in Portugal right now so, I would like to buy it from a Portuguese retailer so that i can claim warranty if anything goes wrong.

I already started searching and found some solutions (at least I think they are). Can anyone please tell me which of these is the best one for my application?
I'm a video content producer, so I need a lot of GPU power. (that's why I want to have them in SLI)

My budget for the MB is 150€.
Im really inclined to buy either the ASUS H270F or the MSI Z270M

I’ll leave the link for the ones I think will work well, below.
If you have any other suggestions (like stores) or recommendations please advise.

Thanks!

My selection of Micro-ATX Motherboards

Go with the Asus motherboard. Ive used those and really like them. They have good feature set for the price.

Thank you Skullmeat! Will do!

I was under the Impression the GTX 1060 does not support SLI.

That aside, wouldn't a single GTX 1080 @ 8GB do the job?

Hi Mothered.
I'm sorry for the ignorance, but what how do I know if the GPU is SLI Compatible?
Thanks

If the card Itself has SLI fingers, It supports an SLI setup.

Otherwise, It'll need to communicate solely via the PCIe bus.
