Hello! I had a question concerning the ASUS TUF Z370 Pro gaming mobo. From what I understand it has 6 SATA 6gb/s slots and an M.2 storage device would use one of them.
Expansion slots per asus website:
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16, x8/x4+x4) *
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (max at x4 mode)
4 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x1
My situation:
I have an M.2 960evo from my previous build that I'm planning on bringing to my new MOBO but due to some freebies and deals, I will also have a WD Green 240gb sata3 SSD and Toshiba 2TB 7200rpm HDD.
Will I be able to have all 3 drives running at the same time, in addition to a GTX 1080 (I know, i bought like a week before new cards were announced), i7 8700k that i plan to overclock (i understand the MOBO isn't exactly optimized for the cpu but I already have the parts here), RAM etc?
Thanks.
