hello. I plan to install all those components on this mobo. Can u tell me if this motherboard can pull out performance from those components at best on set up like I did ?
I chosed pcie1 x16 & pcie3 x8 for GTX to let the air go in between them. >>> If I use pcie x16 on both GTX will I get x16 performance or just x8 ?

    4x 960 PRO) + (3x GTX) that 7 I would say No.
     
    Read Page 12
    PCI-E Lane Distribution
    PE1 – x16, (x8 if PE2 or PE3 is used) lanes from CPU
    PE2 – x8, (x4 if PE3 is used) lanes from CPU
    PE3 – x4, 4 lanes from CPU
    PE4 – x4, 4 lanes from PCH
    PE5 – x1, 1 lane from PCH
    PE6 – x1, 1 lane from PCH
     
    Page 28
    PCIE & M.2 Slots
    All of the boards in this series have at least 1 PCIE x16 slot available, which is
    typically used for a video card, however if you use a CPU with onboard video you
    can leave it empty or place a different type of card into the slot. You will also see x4
    PCIE slots as well as 2 variants of M.2.

    Seems like I should put GTXs on Pcie1+Pcie4 and one M.2 on Pcie3.
    Will there be a difference in Frames if I use other Pcie slot for second GTX and make them x8 instead of x16 and if how many frmes will I loose in % ?

    As long as you are at x8 at Gen3 you should be fine and will not see that much of loss.
    You Must have at Least x8 to run SLI whether 2-Way or 3-Way. 
     
    Maybe you should take a look the EVGA X99 Classified & FTW K Model Motherboards.
    You can select the two X99 on the website to compare and even add your motherboard and compare all three Motherboards.
