Intel CPU I'm taking it?
If so your best options are X38 or X48 chipset boards these are not cheap though £120+. They are the best because of the dual 16x PCIE.
The next step down is a P45 board which will operate at dual 8x PCIE while you will loose a bit of performance the price is much more reasonable starting from ~£85. Look at the Biostar boards http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=906802 or if you want to spend a bit more the offerings from Asus, Biostar, DFI and Gigabyte around the £100 are all good boards.
IMO you wont see much of a difference with dual x8 and x16. So go p45
DFI X48 would be my first thought based on XFire and OCing.
