I've read through the replies and am definitely gonna change ram to a higher speed and go for a msi b450 tomahawk, I won't be getting it for another few weeks for I might be able to scrape together a bit more money and get a 2060.

Also is it a worth a bit more for that m.2 drive I have in there or would I be better off getting a normal sata SSD?

You will want an NVME M.2 drive. It has superior speeds over SATA III's interface. An RTX 2060 is fine but I really believe that you should go with an RX 590 or a used 1070 unless you need Ray Tracing or you're going to use a 1440p or higher monitor. Otherwise, 144hz gaming at 1080p ultra is achievable on an RX 590 or a GTX 1070

No. Absolutely not. It won't improve game load times or Windows boot times. If you do tasks that actually require lots of reads and writes of big files, you'll benefit. Think video editing.

The M.2 drive they chose and asked about is an NVMe drive.
