Presumably if I can make do with the alternative USB version of the Elgato, however, then this problem disappears regardless of the motherboard? Presumably every option we've discussed on this thread allows just an RTX 4090 and three M.2 SSDs without issues?

Okay, food for thought. Thanks for your help, everyone who replied.

How about, if I do decide to ditch the Elgato 4K60 Pro and just go with the USB version instead, would that free up the ability to have a 1TB / 4TB / 4TB SSD setup (on either the CROSSHAIR X870E HERO or the ROG STRIX X870-F GAMING) without affecting the GPU bandwidth?

If that ends up being correct sck451, would you maybe suggest changing the two 4TB SSDs to a single 8TB one, or would that affect performance more once it starts filling up beyond 50% capacity (as is usually suggested with SSDs)? To be honest, my current setup uses an old 256GB SSD for the OS...

Thanks so much for all that Tony! The only other thing someone's now pointing out is that the addition of the 4K Pro to the motherboard might force the two PCIe slots to run at x8 / x8 mode, and that this might not be enough for the GPU. Is that a valid concern? EDIT: Although it looks like...

Thanks both, that's a big help. Figment, the problem with the 4K X is that I need multi-app support (so I can stream on OBS while capturing higher-res footage on Elgato's capture software at the same time), and while the 4K Pro offers that the 4K X sadly doesn't.

Thanks Tony, my bad: I've edited the post to add the copied & pasted config rather than a screenshot. This is the layout of that particular motherboard (first pic): again, I'm far from an expert, but does it look like the expansion slots are far enough apart? The Elgato device isn't much...

Hi there! I'm a video games journalist looking to finally upgrade my creaking PC so I can get back to reviewing the new releases (currently limited to console-only because of my ancient set-up). I've used the PCSpecialist builder to create a PC with the following specs (see below) but given...
