B150 PCIe Lanes

I need some help understanding how PCIe lanes work. 

 

The Intel B150 Chipset has:

  • CPU PCIe 3.0 configuration of 1 x 16 
  • 8 Chipset PCIe 3.0 Lanes

 

My question is, will I be able to run a GPU, a WiFi card (mini PCIe), and a M.2 ssd (SATA OR PCIe) all on one ITX board?

Yes, it'll be fine

 

The average consumer doesn't need to worry about PCI lanes

You'd start to worry if you've got 4 or more PCIe devices

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W
