Looking for a MB recomendation

Stepping up my high-bread file server/PC. I have been running a software RAID 5 solution on a Gigabyte AMD MB but I am just not happy with the drive performance on the 7 1.5T drive array (looking to expand to 15 drives once drive prices get back to normal). Other than severing files the only other thing the server is tasked with is serving up a HDMI feed for a bedroom TV.

I am looking to move up to a HW RAID solution utilizing Intel RAID Expander Card (RES2SV240) & LSI SAS9260-4I but will alos be running a video card.

I need a MB that will support PCI Express x4 for the Intel card, PCI-Express 2.0 x8 for the LSI card and PCI-Express 2.0 x16 for the video card. Don't plan on using the MB SATA connections other than running a SSD boot drive a Blu-ray player. I have more experience with Intel cpu's so posted this here but would also consider a AMD solution.

Recommendations?

thanks
