Is my Z170 ITX Board + Graphics Card ready for VR?

I purchased an ITX GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 motherboard. This guy right here http://goo.gl/HbXARJ
16GB RAM, and an i7-6700k which I will initially be using the integrated Intel HD 530 graphics.

On to my question. I have a Samsung 950 m.2 drive that will plug into this mobo's M.2 slot. I want to eventually put in a screaming Graphics card (Titan X or R9 Fury X) for use of Oculus Rift, but I was wondering if my motherboard will be a bottleneck. Do I lose PCI-X bandwidth by having the M.2 drive in this thing? I hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot with the purchase of this small ITX board if it will prohibit my use of a good graphics card. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Your MB will not be a bottleneck on your build. In-fact, that is a good MB. Your PC would be VR ready with a GTX Titan X or Fury X or GTX 980 Ti...
