i have just 8 month in PC building so maybe my question you could feel is a very bad one but

im planning to upgrade my rig in the next 4 month (move from amd to intel) i have fx8350 @4.9 for gaming @4.4 everyday use, gtx 1070 g1, 16gb ram with 970a ud3p mobo.

my question really is, do you need two pci x16 port to have a SLI configuration? because i saw this mobo http:// and is two way sli but i see in the pictures that one port runs at x8 and just one x16

help me with this, is the first thing i want to buy
