keep in mind, if you get a board with a chipset with high PCI-E lanes, you can add splitters to add even more cards.

For example,

the B250 chipset has 12 max lanes.

The Z170 chipset has 20 max lanes.
https://ark.intel.com/products/90591/Intel-Z170-Chipset

So your 6 card board can be further upgradable if you keep chipset max pci-e lanes in mind.

You can read about the various options here.
biostar has a setup where they got 104 cards on their motherboard.

I personally have two of these and they work great. no impact to mining speed.
Got my generic gaming computer with minimal PCI-E ports up to 7 GPU's. (with integrated graphics turned off.)
