My question:
The GPU is PCI Express 2.0 x16
So this means that I need 2 of those slots on the Motherboard since I am getting 2 of the graphics cards right?
Does the Motherboard have 2 of those slots? because it doesn't look like it...
It says it has:
2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16 or dual at x8/x8 mode)
1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (at x4 mode, 2.5GT/s)
What is the difference between PCIe and PCI Express? Is there any?
Will the graphics cards both plug into the motherboard and I still be able to use HDMI on both of them?
PCIe is just an acronym. Your cards will work together but wow that's a lot of power.

Even if its not you will only want the dual 8x slots.

Try this one why would you want 3 pci express slots? Two will do just fine.

Why would you ever need that much graphics computing power? I max everything at 60 fps with one. Buy one and a mobo that can handle two and wait for the prices to go down before you buy another.
I agree you won't need a second card one is plenty.
Having a future proof computer is nice though.

"herp de derp my needs are everyone's needs"
he's going eyefinity. somehow I doubt you play 60FPS across multiple 1920x1080 screens with a single card.

there's more to motherboards than the number of PCI-E slots on them.
Fucking hell, I am willing to sell my ass for one.
I have dual monitors.
