look for a cheap board that has only one PCIe x16 and all other PCIe x1.

then just get extenders and connect all your cards to x1 ports and one at the x16.


in a personal comment I wouldn't be investing on boards or video cards GPU.    You will never get your investment back.  I recommend investing on ASIC.
