I have bought a Asus x99 Deluxe II, Intel 6800K and Nvidia GTX1060. but and intend to buy a Samsung 950Pro 512GB NVME M.2 as boot drive. I already have a Samsung 850Pro SSD which I want to add for data as well as two SATA HDD.

So I have 28 lanes with my 6800K, take away 16 for the GTX 2016 and 4 for the 950 it leaves me with 8 lanes or have I got that wrong?

Are these 8 remaining lanes the ones that will be used when I add my 850 ssd and two SATA Hard Drives?

Many thanks. Its five years since my last build and so much has changed!

If in future I did add another NVME 950 using the Asus pcie m2 conversion card will that take up another four lanes?
