I currently have 1 1080ti SC2 Hybrid and 1 1080 FTW Hybrid running on an old mobo with only 1 PCIe x16 slot and 1 PCIe x1 slot. I have another 1080ti SC2 Hybrid arriving Monday so need to step up my old mobo. I currently have an old 430w PSU and an EVGA 850w bronze PSU (I know quality not the best, but I was able to pick it up that day at Best Buy). I'll have to get an additional PSU when I go to 4 cards, which I will do if I go to the EVGA motherboard.

Does anyone have experience using the EVGA z370 FTW motherboard? It has 1 x16 slot, 1 x8 slot, 1 x4 slot, 3 x1 slots, and 2 M2 slots (that I can tell from the picture; the third M2 slot shares the lane with the first x1 slot so I think it's either/or?). So I'm guessing this would take me to 8 GPUs eventually, if I'm looking at this right.

I don't know if I'll want to go beyond 8 at some point so I'm not sure if I should just jump straight to a larger motherboard or not. I will be using Windows for the time being as I don't know Linux yet and will have to put that in line to learn.

TIA!
