Intel i7 5820k and 2x GTX 980s

Hi,

I'm buying a x99 motherboard. I'm looking at the Intel I7 5820K but it only 28 PCI lanes. Is this enough for the video cards and maybe a wireless pcie card? Thanks.

Yes, sure it is.. 8+8+4=20

Thank you! I guess I should figure out how to count

even if using lga 1150 (16 lanes) you would be fine, PCIE 3.0 x8 works well for graphics cards.
and the wireless card can be connected to the PCH.


I THINK the 5820K will run at x16/x8 with 2 graphics cards not x8/x8.
