What board and what CPU. You may be limited in CPU lanes. GPU takes 16 and each m.2 takes x4 and x4 for PCH controller so thats 28 lanes. If your board and CPU doesnt support 28 lanes you cant run them both or you have to lower the GPU to X8. Depending on the GPU it may not matter. 2080Ti was the first to breach the X8 bandwidth and only by like 6%.
Your PC specs listed dont help any as a 5900X isnt going to run on a Z97.

The new z690 motherboards have 12 pch pcie lanes, you can run your M.2 drives off the pch lanes to keep your gpu at x16.

Looking at the manual,
It does look like it's possible if you use the M.2_ 1 slot and the ROG Hyper M.2 card in the third pcie slot. Just be aware your gpu will drop to x8.

I was under the impression that most GPUs ran x8 anyhow or cannot use more than x8.
