I already got or plan to get these components:

- SilverStone FT02B USB 3.0 (Maximum form factor: ATX 12" x 11")

- i7-3770K (I chose it over the i5-3570K because I need the VT-x instruction set)

- eVGA GTX Titan (One for now but it should be able fit one more in SLI)

- Chill Innovation CP-1000M (1000W) (My old PSU)

So I'm looking for a good performing and solid motherboard that supports 4 x USB 3.0, 2 x PCIe 3.0 in SLI, Hyper-Threading and the max size must be ATX 12" x 11"
 
No one? Please... It's been 5 years sine I build my last PC, so there are a lot of new things for me to consider.

The part I'm most confused about is how many PCIe 3.0 lanes I need for 2 GTX Titans in SLI. Is a motherboard with 2 PCIe 3.0 x16 slots enough (I'm confused about the x16 part). And is there room enough for the intake fan on the second GTX Titan to take in air when facing the back of the first card or should I look for board with extra spacing.
