Yes they are.
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813157271 122$ support SLI
GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128502 130$ SLI
GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128512 145$ SLI
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128498 160$ SLI
If you don't have in plan to SLI there is a few good and cheaper mobos :
BIOSTAR TZ68A+ LGA 1155 Intel Z68 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813138319 110$
ASUS P8Z68-V LX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131781 125$
If you buy acheaper mobo then upgrade your RAM to 8GB low profile not to interfere with the cpu cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820233186
Buy an 2600k is the same like 2700k ( is a little overclocked by Intel , that you can do from BIOS raising the multiplier) and is 50$ cheaper. If don't plan to SLI ( 2 X 560Ti) buy the Corsair TX650 is cheaper and is more than enough for your build.
