TL;DR
USA buying from Newegg likely; Got this MoBo & want a super fast drive

Long:
I have the above listed motherboard. I think it has NVME or something. I am currently using 3~ SATA drives.
I want to use this JUST for Unreal Engine & Unreal Engine Projects which are always ASTRONOMICALLY big. Long load times, long everything high ram usage.
Needs to be probably 1 TB I think at minimum. 500 GB is pushing it, but I can probably throw up to $100~ at this.
Naturally, I'll spend a little more if need be. This is for school, so it can be spent on. I don't need some ridiculous enterprise device though.

PS:
I don't have the screws. I threw my extra parts in the trash because idk why.
If the drive comes with screws cool, if not, a link to some serviceable ones are fine. I have screwdrivers.

$100 in the US is not enough for a decent 1TB NVMe SSD, you're looking at least $150 for one.
