No, i have no idea what that is. i meant that the gpu can connect and also a hard drive can connect with pcie5. I just wanted these to both be connected via pcie 5 so the whole setup lasts longer.
The board has one PCIE 5.0 M.2 slot and the primary slot is PCI-E 5.0, so yes, that is possible. But, like I said, unless you know you need the PCI-E 5.0 drive (e.g. regular large file copies), they're not needed and won't do anything for you.

PCI-E 5.0 graphics might have a benefit in the future, but right now, it is just a few percent loss in performance on a 5090, if you don't have it.

Probably not then. It is primarily for gaming. I just felt that maybe it could do with an upgrade from 32.
I'd be aware that DDR5 systems don't much like running 4 sticks, so if you think you'll need it (some games can push it, particularly modded games and city builders) then I would buy it now.
 
So taking on board what everyone has kindly suggested, I will go with this:

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £1,223.89 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

Hopefully there are no conflicts here. I will maybe change the colour of things as i need to try and visualise what it looks like but all i need to do is order a gpu at a later date.
