i cannot find any information on whether the dq67sw motherboard is compatible with the Samsung 980 PRO SSD please help im new to computers and a big linus fan

No, your Intel DQ67SW does not support the 980 Pro as it does not have an NVMe slot.

Yes, via an M.2 NVMe to PCIe slot adapter, but it would severely limit the speed as your board has only PCIe 2.0 slots. I'd recommend getting a SATA SSD such as the Crucial MX500 if you're looking to get a new SSD, or saving up for a complete platform swap.

No, checking prices shows it's quite an expensive SSD.

Why exactly were you buying an SSD?

because my disc on task manager is always at 80% and a friend said an ssd should help
