Ok, can someone eli5 PCIE? So on the Intel spec sheet it says that the 6700k supports 16x PCIE lanes, enough for one GPU? But then DMI supports 4, is that an additional 4 or 12+ the 4 to get 16?
BUT NOW... I watch this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWsEYGA1JbY
and the dude says that the new z170 chipset splits up the PCIE lanes somewhat, so you get 16x on the CPU and an ADDITIONAL 20x on the chipset going to a total of 36 lanes. So am I being dumb thinking that I can run two 980s in SLI at 16x each and run one PCIE SSD at 4x and it'll 'just work', to lend a phrase from our Apple friends.
Here's the build I'm making, any comments?
