Current set up:
i7 4790k (16 PCIE Lanes)


Since on i7 4790k ark page:
http://ark.intel.com/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz


PCI Express Revision 3.0
PCI Express Configurations ‡ Up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4

If I were to add an Intel 750 PCIE SSD (4 PCIE 3.0 Lanes) into my system, would the PCIE 3.0 Lanes be ( 12 Lanes on Graphic card, 4 lanes on SSD) or will it drop the pcie lanes down on the graphic cards down to 8 (So it's just 8 on graphics, 4 ssd.) and 4 lanes will be wasted?

Thank you!

Depends on the motherboard actually but in most cases your gpu will end up at x8. The good news is that will make absolutely no difference in games.
