Migrating to modern CPU with a geForce graphics card

I've got a shaky mobo that I'm thinking to replace with a more modern one.
In the process, I'll likely switch from AMD 64 to Intel core I7.  The
mobo's Ive seen all have built-in video, and I gather this is actually a
reflection of on-chip capabilities.

My problem is that I am currently running a geForce card with 3 monitors, 2
DVIs and one HDMI.  I want to keep it that way.  I have yet to see a mobo
with these exact connectors.  So my question is: is this going to be easy
or hard?  Right now I'm thinking of the ASUS Maximus VII or Z96 Deluxe,
both of which list NVIDIA SLI (whatever that is) as multi-GPU support.

Does anyone have experience with these mobos, running a recent kernel?  I'm
currently at xubuntu 14.04 LTS, hoping to stay LTS.
