How many components do I need to remove to insert an NVME drive?

I want to buy an NVME SSD. How many parts will I need to remove to get it in there, and can I do it with the motherboard still in the case?

From that pic, none, but for more room you may need to remove the gpu. The nvme is just above the gpu.

Your GPU and that's it, you may also need to find the m.2 screws that came with your mobo or buy one.

Depending on how long your fingers are, none. Though, getting the M.2 screw in can be annoying if you don't have a magnetic screwdriver (you kept the M.2 screw for your motherboard right?)

Yup, got it in a little plastic bag. I do have a magnetic screwdriver. i won't need to remove mobo from the case will I?

Nope, if your PC isn't plugged in the Mobo can be anywhere you want. I assume you already checked out a video on how to install the M.2 drive? It's pretty straightforward but I've seen some folks take a very "creative" approach.
