Flexible I/O is one of those things Motherboard manufacturers reserve for the upper price ranges, unfortunately.

Yeah sadly now. PCIe x8/x8 or x8/x4/x4 (bifurcation) from CPU was common in standard priced board like Z170X-UD3, but now requires mid-high priced board. More flexible slots (dynamic switch by PLX chip) is always for highends.
