Hey guys, I'm pretty new to PC gaming but so far I absolutely love my Alienware area 51 R2. No complaints here. So I'm writing today to get some input about putting in a third gtx 980 into my rig. my question is this, I have the 5820k processor in there right now, everyone keeps telling me to get a newer processor for a third card but right now, not really an option I'm willing to spend money on. I got this third gtx 980 for free from my work and id really love to put it into my system. I would upgrade the PSU to 1200w as well from the 850w in there now. Can my processor run 3 cards at once running it at /8x/8x/8x/ since it only has 28 lanes as oppose to the 40 you would get from the processors above? I don't know much about the mobo itself so I'm seeking help from people who own alien wares and might be able to give me more knowledge about this. My main goal is to have a 3 way SLI in this badass machine. Thanks for all of your help in advance.
