Forgive my green-ness on pc building, but I’m looking to add more storage to my pc. In my research, which included being fed a lot of info I hardly understand and only led to more questions, but these two slots are for m.2 ssd drives correct?

PCI Express expansion cards can fit there, your graphics card is one of them. Technically an M.2 riser card could go there, and an M.2 drive could be put in the riser card, but you won't be able to take advantage of PCIe speeds with storage unless you're moving massive files. For the average user, a SATA drive is plenty.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
