AMD Ryzen 9 9900X

Phanteks Enthoo 719 Case
Seasonic VERTEX GX-1200 PSU
64GB Gskill Ripjaws S5 DDR56000
Samsung Pro M2 (OS)
RTX 5080/5070 16GB
40TB Usable RAID10 sata/sas(faster read speeds the better)

Looking for a motherboard that can do 2-4 M2 slots, and 4 sata's that can do raid10, or a pcie slot to use a pcie raid card? Can the ASRock X870E Taichi Lite do this without loosing too many pcie lanes, and would I notice the difference using the using the 2 16x PCIe5 lanes at 8x, using a single GPU and raid card?

Are you in need of your NVMe drives to be in RAID? Might I ask what sort of a tasks you're going to be taxing the workstation with?

would I notice the difference using the using the 2 16x PCIe5 lanes at 8x, using a single GPU and raid card?
In real world use case scenarios no, you won't notice it. Synthetic benchmarks will however tell you that you're resources could be maximized.

No, no need for the NVMe drives to be raided. I havent looked at a pcie raid controller in many moons, anything at $500 thats worth it, or going to cost abit more to make it worth it? Best 3.5 HDD's for raid10, 20TB/ea. With a pcie raid controller, any idea how close id get over 500MBps?

Looking to do 4K@(120+Hz)120FPS game delv kids RGP-Shooter, Fallout New Vegas meets Power Rangers.
