    with SLI it will be x8 x8
     
    it works fine.

    You won't notice any performances difference. Especially if it's PCI-E 3.0, so that 8x would equal 16x PCI-E 2.0
    Last I cared to check, graphic cards barely even reached 8x PCI-E 2.0 speeds, so I think you'll be fine.

    No, you won't notice any performance hit.
     
    In regards to your second question, they would work using a PCIe riser. The lanes would still be split between the two GPUs. If you decide to go that route, make sure the riser offers supplemental power capabilities and that your power supply can handle it.

    Nvidia SLI runs at x8 speed so it will be running fine. if you want 3 or 4way u need to get the x99 platform as the 5820, 5930 and 5960 has 32 and 40 PCI-e lanes.

    I'd recommend two 390s instead. Crossfire scales much better than SLI and the 390 is a faster card anyway, both are in the same price range. And they'll run in 3.0 x8 x8, which is the equivalent of PCI-E 2.0 x16 x16 (so no performance loss at all).

    Okay thanks guys, I'll go for a 980ti then if that is the case. I could also get another 980ti to sli in the future, when I get the money.

    Saw this on my local craigslist. Unless there's some billionaire living in Surrey whos super into tech but couldn't make the build work, I'm pretty sure this is from Linus. First time seeing/realizing he posts stuff like this on Craigslist.

    I dont blame them for selling them, If they are the ones selling them. They probably already have 1 or 2 Nanos or furys laying around already.

    Can't overclock the 4790K without a Z97 motherboard.
     
    The R9 380 would be the better choice in gaming, unless the GTX 960 will be used for CUDA.
     
    Change out the PSU to a SeaSonic/XFX 500W one.
