6700k PCIe Limit?: SLI + M.2 SSD + Wireless Network Adapter Card + Internal Capture Card

[PhoenixCayce]

Hey guys, I'll be building my computer real soon. I got most of my parts already(parts down below), and I decided to look at optional things I could possibly put in. So I looked at and M.2 SSD, a wireless network adapter card, and internal game capture card. All things that affected the PCIe lanes, then I realize that when I do put another graphic cards(probably next summer) that it might affect my chances to put them in SLI. So I was wondering, if these extra thing will affect really affect that, if I do plan to use them? Since you guy will probably ask as to why I would possibly want to add these components: NVMe SSD enough said; Wireless Adapter I have a big ass 4k TV downstairs that the internet cable won't reach to, so that will be the solution now until I have away to stream my games from my room; As for the capture card, I don't want to bother switching the input every time to use the monitor between my computer and console. Also I'd like to stream on twitch to mostly my friends.

 

Motherboard: MSI z170 Gaming Pro Carbon

CPU: 6700k

GPU: EVGA FTW GTX 1080

PSU: EVGA 750w G2(side question: do you think this is enough watt for 2 gtx 1080?)

EDIT: Capture Card AverMedia LGHD: http://www.avermedia.com/gaming/product/game_capture/live_gamer_hd

the 6700K has only 16 PCIe lanes, so a single video card will occupy that: http://ark.intel.com/products/88195/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_20-GHz

 

the Z170 chipset has other 20 PCIe lanes available: http://ark.intel.com/products/90591/Intel-GL82Z170-PCH

 

NVMe SSD wil take up 4 lanes

the WiFi will take 1

capture card ... dunno

I know that for SLI you need each card to be 8x each at least. I heard that it's that the chipset only provides 4 extra PCIe lanes not 20. So if it's only 4 extra lanes the ssd alone will take up them up. also the capture card is the AverMedia LGHD: http://www.avermedia.com/gaming/product/game_capture/live_gamer_hd

dunno where you heard that, but that's not true

the Avermedia thingy looks like a 1x card

 

you're gonna be left with 14 lanes, not enough to run 16x SLI setup
