Too much for the PCI E bus?

depends. the chipset will provide 4 lanes @ gen 2.0 on older chipsets. I have no idea if they updated it for lga 1151, but i might be enough to run an el gato.

Are you talking about a PLX chip? if so I believe somebody above mentioned that this motherboard does not have it. The only solution would be to buy a CPU with more lanes or a motherboard with a PLX chip.

so my buddy with the 1080 said that it may be that i need a x99 board and not a z170 board

Yup X99(A) Chipset has CPU's with more lanes. the 6800k has 28,the 6850k has 40

no, the chipset itself has a few extra lanes irrespective of the cpu.

x99 starts at 28 lanes, and goes up to 40. Personally if you're doing any form of content creation x99 wrecks everything else... I might happen to have a 5960x.... just saying. (BTW, I happen to have 80 lanes to play with, plus the chipset.... That's a PLX chip)

here is another question related to this same PCI bus question, does a M.2 SLot share the same bus, i was thinking of switching my boot drove over to a m.2 instead of the sata drive.

 Yeah, it disables pcie lanes to free up bandwidth
