Hi, everyone!
I have https://msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z97-PC-Mate Mother Board
https://ark.intel.com/en/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz Processor
Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 16GB (2x8 kit) HX318C10FBK2/16 RAM
1TB WD Caviar Blue WD10EZEX Storage with OS installed on it
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC GAMING ACX 2.0 Graphics Card and https://www.aerocool.com.tw/us/psu/value-series/vx-750w for power supply
I`m considering storage upgrade to http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/960evo , but my Mother Board doesn`t have any m.2 slots and I`m wondering is there any way to pull it off, I`ve seen things like https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboard-Accessory/HYPER_M2_X4_MINI_CARD/ , but I`m not sure if my Mother Board is compitable with it and is it a good choice or there is something better. And if it is compitable then in which slot on Mother Board to put it in for best perfomance without hurting Graphics Card, I have no other PCI extension cards.
So the questions are:
Is there a way to put m.2 SSD in my system
If there is then how to do it better
