    I am moving to a i7 6700k with a 980ti on a mini itx board, therefore it has only one GPU slot.
    The mother bd has a m2 SSD slot, so i was thinking of utilising that but i am concerned that it may rob my 3.0 x 16 capability and reduce it to 3.0 x 8.
    Can anyone give me advice.

    From what I think I've found out, using M2 SSD slot will make the Gen 3 PCIe x 16. drop to Gen 3 PCIe x 8.
    If I have missed some forum update chat about this; rfactor2 performs at at approximately 15% lower frame rates.
    again I am not sure if later builds have countered this.

    If this is not correct please chime in and have your say.
