I'm looking to upgrade soon , and I'm going to the Dark Side (Team Blue). Comparing the 5930K , 5820K , and the 6700K. So , PCIe lanes are where my ignorance blooms. The Haswells are at 40 and 28 PCIe lanes , respectively. I can't find that info on the big Skylake. If I'm running a good graphics card (980?) and a sound card and maybe a PCIe SSD , will lane count matter much? Would 28 be enough and leave room for future PCIe additions? There is a hefty price difference for the 40 lane Haswell and if I don't need the lanes there is no sense in buying them.
