Yes, if it's PCIe. Lots of risers are designed to connect to an M.2 slot, particularly in laptops. Plenty of YouTube videos out there.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

M.2 PCIe? How can those be the same slot?

Omg, it's a signature!

M.2 is a physical connector. It can either talk SATA or PCIe. Many motherboards support both types of SSDs connected to it.

 

M.2 typically has a x4 connection, if it supports PCIe.

The AMD RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 only have PCIe 4.0 x4. Their performance isn't the greatest and suffers an additional penalty when connected to PCIe 3.0

 

~edit: You can connect any GPU to PCIe x4, it'll simply lose some of its performance. Why would you want to though? Is your regular PCIe slot broken or something?

Yes, this gets expensive and messy quick...you are better off selling that system and buying a real PC

What do you reccomend? For minecraft fps, I'd say more CPU than GPU because the CPU has to calculate all the blocks in every chunk you have loaded.

What's your budget? Do you want pre-built, or build one yourself?

Build yourself. Budget: About $300 I have nvme drive I plan on using, as well as a 2.5 inch ssd. Used graphics card is okay. 

How is this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yq7xmr 

Does the motherboard ship with the latest BIOS?

Omg, it's a signature!

What are you doing for a GPU?

And I can't say for certain if the mobo comes with the latest BIOS.

Integrated, although a 1060 looks like a worthy cantidate.

that CPU you listed doesn't have integrated GFX, only AMD CPUs listed that end with "G" have integrated GFX.

Sorry, I ment that I use integrated right now, and a 1060 looks like a good price to performance option. Also
