your extra slots do not have dedicated PCI-E lanes.  No basic desktop CPU has enough lanes for that.

I meant PCIe slots, sorry.

 

Although there are lanes that go through the chipset.

It's an Optiplex MT case, so Micro-ATX.

Currently, m-ATX. But planning my next build, m-ATX is seemingly even more niche now than when I built my current PC. Almost certainly going ATX next time, I don't fancy paying the extra to go M-ITX when I'm going to have to overpay for the GPU.
