Best check out pics of the boards not all of the P55 motherboards have Sli Capability, the Asus P7P55D Pro does & looks like theirs enough room, could put the PCI card in the far left slot.

Check out all the pics of motherboards, thats what I would do then choose from there & make sure the motherboard has Sli function as some of the cheaper boards only have Crossfire.

That Asus is computer porn, I might buy one and just put it on my wall :D

As for which board, it says in the discription wether the support SLi or not, typically they are Crossfire or both crossfire/SLi.
 
Asus looks like the better layout. With both the Gigabyte and MSI boards a PCI card might end up blocking the fan on the 2nd card in SLI, depending on its length/height.

just a quick question, how come your using a PCI NIC? Is it a killer NIC or something special? . . . is the onboard giga LAN no good for you?

Wireless LAN maybe.
