I'd like to get a 2x 3080 build (eventually) and was wondering what kind of motherboard do I need to fit both.

Why 2x 3080s? Do you need the 16x bandwidth for some application or is 8x fine?

For mining. Looking to have one mine 24/7, and one game. And then have both mining.

basically any atx motherboard can support that. What's the rest of your system like? That's what really will determine what motherboard you want to go with (also if you're going to be overclocking your cpu). Send your build if possible, if you don't have a build or don't know other components, tell me your budget, currency, and what you're doing with your pc.

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

I do not have a build persay, I kind of made one on newegg but I got no idea if its good. I'm looking for a PC that can fit into a large suitcase to transport it. Budget is ~2500

why not just use nice hash so then you don't have to do any work and take half of the gpu stock for mining

I used a 850w psu, I had to replace it so I removed the list for a minute. Check again.

I'm going to use a ETH miner/nice hash. I just need to know the motherboard. And then figure out how to assemle it all.
