Lei que el procesador cuenta con 20 lineas PCIe, tengo entendido que para comunicarse con el chipset de la motherboard utilizan 4 lineas, por lo que mi duda es si mi GPU utiliza las otras 16 lineas PCIe, y quiero instalar un SSD NVMe lo tengo que instalar en las ranuras que son controladas por el chipset de la motherboard o puedo instalarlo en la ranura que va directo al procesador sin afectar el rendimiento de mi GPU?

The 20 PCIe lines from the CPU are split 16 to the GPU and 4 to one NVME slot, typically this is M2_1.

The  remainder of the PCIe lines are provided by the chipset.

So install your NVME drive in the slot connected to the processor, it will not affect the performance of the GPU.

The connection between the CPU and the chipset does not use PCIe lines, it uses DMI (up to x8 DMI 4.0). See the Intel 700 series chipset block diagram below:
