How is the bus speed affected when running a graphics card and an SSD on the PCIe bus?

Hey gang. Wondering if someone can help me here. I have a hyper-x PCIe 2.0 x4 SSD and a r9 380 graphics card. I'm looking at purchasing a new mobo (z97 chipset) and was wondering about bus speed. If I run both SSD and GPU on the 3.0 bus, does that limit the GPU to x8 instead of x16? What if I get a mobo with 2 PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and 1 PCIe 2.0 x4 slot? Would the GPU run x16 and the SSD at x4. Or if I have 3 PCIe 3.0 slots, how would that effect the bus speed of the GPU if the SSD is on that bus? Let me know if I need to clarify. Many thanks.
 
Solution
16 lanes are provided by the cpu. The other slots are going to get lanes from the mobo so the gpu would not be affected.
