a total of 5 lanes of PCIE 2.0 for sound card and NIC. This should also be handled by z77 chipset as it has 8 PCIE 2.0 slots in addition to the PCIE 3.0 slots.

You will need to use the X79 (LGA 2011 socket) the Z77 or Ivy processors only have 16 lanes for PCIe. The X79 has 40.
And I suspect the reason you did not get a reply was cos I was on a train and had no signal. On me holidays I am. 😄
The issue is not about slots at all. The issue is about the total number of lanes available, and since Intel has place the PCIe control on die it is CPU dependent and has very little to do with motherboards.
