RTX 2080 on an Asus Z97-A?

[DAAT ONE GUY]

So essentially I've pre-order an RTX 2080.

It's not the card I'm worried about, but more if it'll work fine on my mobo.
Specs:
MOBO: Asus z97-A
CPU: Intel I7 4790k (With Corsair H100(?) Closed Loop Water Cooling)
RAM: 24GB G.Skill 2x8 and 2x4 Sticks @ 2666 mhz
Case: Cooler Master Stormtrooper

So that's my hardware, a tiny bit dated eh?

The main reason I am concerned is because I was faced with having an M.2 drive I installed runing at half the speed it was rated for, only reaching the rated speeds after installing a PCI to m.2 adapter. Can something similar happen to my GPU? I can't say I have been able to find any information that could help me come to any conclusion.

Also the CPU should be a fine match still right? I'll be trying to run games at 4k, and it was always the GPU that was the bottleneck, never heard of the I7 4790k being it.

Edit (Since I just saw another Thread): Forgot to mention the PSU: Corsair CX 750 Bronze. (Pretty sure that's sufficient)

4790k shouldn't bottlenecking 2080 in theory, I still use 4790k on two 780ti for GPU rendering, you should ask asus for better info.

Your motherboard should be fine. The only slight concern is the PCIe to m.2 adaptor, with it installed, your graphics card won't get the full 16x bandwidth as some of those PCIe lanes are needed for the m.2 drive (and any other card/s you may have installed). However, even at 8x the RTX 2080 shouldn't be able to use all the bandwidth, so you should be fine.

BTW, the i7-4790k is still a great CPU (I may be biased as I have one), at 4K, it's the GPU that will be the limiting factor.
