Are you planning to do SLI?

very few, and theyre expensive. the 1151 cpus only have 16 total cpu lanes so an additional chipset has to be added for more lanes. why do you need 2 x16s anyways?

why? 2 x8 slots are functionally the same unless you run >10gb nics. gpus cant use all the bandwidth of an x16 slot
