PCI lanes / GPU / m.2 NVME drive question

[ToneStar]

I just bought a 
 

14700K CPU
Z790 ASROCK Riptide Wifi motherboard it has 4 pci.e 4.0 m.2 slots and 1 5.0 m.2 slot 
AMD 7800XT GPU

If I put 4 nvme drives in the 4 pci 4.0 slots will it take up any of the lanes for the GPU and slow it to 8x? 

I have a couple of old m.2 drives a 500gb and 1tb I want to use for primocache on my 14tb HDs or to hold games

Then for my C: I have a 2tb 4.0 drive and then I also have a 1tb 4.0 I use to hold games and commonly accessed files.

Just wondering if there is any harm in having those 2 extra 3.0 NVME drives in the system performance wise for gaming.

No, that will only happen if you use the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot.

No, they're fine to have in there. Most people still can't tell the difference between a Gen 3 and Gen 4 drive outside of benchmarks anyway, and the speed of one drive does not affect the speed of another.

Nope, according to the block diagram in the manual, each m.2 socket have it's own lane and fyi the one connected to the cpu is the top 2 m.2 socket the rest is connected to chipset
