Will Z97 support SLI and NVMe SSD?

I have the i7-4790K that supports 16 PCIe 3rd gen lanes in a Maximus VII Hero motherboard with the Z97 chipset. Currently I use the PCIe lanes for my GTX 980 and my Intel 750 SSD. I am considering buying 2 GTX 1080s. Will my PC support that many PCIe lanes? Will it be necessary to move the SSD up to the top PCIe lane (I think 1st and 2nd are the only gen 3 lanes) for it to not lose performance?

Case: Antec Twelve Hundred V3 | Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Hero | CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k @ 4.4GHz | RAM: G. Skill RipjawsX DDR3-2133 MHz C9 QC - 16GB | GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 G1 Gaming | PSU: Corsair AX860 | SSD: 2x Samsung 840 EVO SSD's in RAID 0
