Apart from your problem, A R7 1700, 1080 and 1070 on a 550W PSU does not sound like a wise idea.

My R5 1600 and 1080ti already can consume up to 500W.

Thank for your adivice. I know my PSU is weak. That way i tryed with other very week card Quadro K420. This card don't have additional PCIE power link and it's power consumation is very small.

Thanks for help.
The problem was my SSD.
When is  SSD Nvme is in use on slot M2.1 that blocking PCIE 1x16. I move my SSD to M2.2 slot and problem is fixed.

Now you have a new problem, because the 2nd M2 slot is only running at SATA3 speed so you're severely gimping your NVME drive.
Normally I would always recommend B350, but for what you want you really should have gone with an X370 board.
