No it won't lower performance a significant amount, if any.

Thank you so much!  If i use this motherboard and this adapter can I still have two 980s in SLI with them both scaled on 8x?

I don't think so. If you plan to go SLI 980s, I would just get a SATA SSD. 

Your motherboard/CPU supports either 16x, 8x/8x, or 8x/4x/4x. SLI requires at least 8x/8x.

Uhm ...? Does that mean you can't go 3-way on the consumer chips - a thing below 5820k level??! Like rly Intel. That would be not cool, not cool bro.

Ok, one more thing.  If I use this motherboard here: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Amazinjoe555/saved/v2Wqqs can I still have a 16x slot for my GPU with the Samsung 950 Pro plugged into the ULTRA M.2 slot on the motherboard?
