790FX bandwidth question

So I am preparing to upgrade to a 790FX DDR3 MoBo, more specifically

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128415


My question is I heard withn the P55 chipsets, if you used USB 3.0/SATA 6gb and then ran a Crossfire setup, that USB 3.0 /SAT 6gb would be disabled. I also understood that if you even ran a single card setup, the PCI-e x16 slot would be bottleneck'd to x8 using said SATA/USB connections.

However, if I am not mistaken the 790FX chipest has more PCI-e lanes available should it should not suffer from the P55s issue.

Am I correct about this or am I stressin over nothing?

Trust me, I'd like too but unfortunately my schedule wouldn't allow me to wait until the end of march to see what the 890FX is gonna have on it.

I was just concerned if I eventually tried to do a setup with SATA 6.0 that I wouldn't be able to do crossfire.
