CPU PCIe lane capacity, causing performance issues (Graphics card, NVMe PCIe SSD)

[Sephyro]

Specs:
6700
Prime B250 plus ASUS
mushkin 480gb os drive (windows 10 pro)
Plextor 256gb NVMe PCIe
gtx 1080 ACX3.0
I have gaming issues, I really feel like what I ought to be a beasty gaming rig is lacking of performance. With a lot of research done I think I found what is ticking in here. Most LGA1511 i7 CPUs have a maximum PCIe lane capacity of 16x while the gtx1080 tries to get all of them, would my PCIe 4x SSD interfere and cause performance issues? If so, I am strongly considering an i7-6800k with MSI GAMING x99 gaming 7 mother board. Any help would be really appreciated.

well the maximum capacity of PCIE lanes is dictated by your motherboard. for example a Z170 can handle 24x PCIE 3.0 @8.0GB/s where a z97 motherboard can only handle 8x PCIE 2.0 @5gb/s

so back to your motherboard.. the B250 handles 12x 3.0 @8.0gb/s I think that is your choke point to be honest
Get a Z270 or an H270 motherboard which will give you 24x or 20x PCIE lanes to play with.
