So I'm upgrading my pc and I'm going to an I9 9900k with the Asus Maximus XI Formula. I eventually wanna put 2 2080ti into the system, so my question is will I have a bottle neck or performance issues if I use the 2 gpus and then have 2 M.2 NVME drives is the system as well?

unless you are installing two 2tb nvme drives I don't see a reason to be installing 2. and it depends but im pretty sure nvme on z390 all use chipset lanes.

You'll be fine. The only thing that may suffer is bandwidth for an NVMe drive because some motherboards only give x2 to their secondary m.2 slot

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

The chipset has plenty of lanes, about 24 depending on the board, and that won't affect the gpus.
