	That will work just fine and you will still have the full x16 link speed for your GPU. The lowest x16 slot is wired to the chipset I believe so you don't need to worry about losing any bandwidth to your GPU. If you installed the sound card into the second PCIe x16 slot (the middle one) you may drop to PCIe x8 on the top slot. Even in this case, you will not lose any performance going from x16 to x8 anyway. Use the bottom slot for your sound card, it won't interfere with anything there.
