RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB

PSU: EVGA Supernova 650 GS

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

Having a bit of trouble deciding on the SSD.

I was looking at the Samsung 850 EVO and PRO and was initially planning on getting a 1TB 850 EVO.

Then I saw the 950 PRO and read a bit about nvme and m.2 and saw how much faster it is.

The 512GB model is roughly the same price as a 1TB 850 EVO. ($300)

Is there any significant benefit to getting an m.2 card?

I'll mainly be using it for gaming, I hear it has faster load times.

I'm also OCD and the thought of having less cables attracts me.

Is it actually faster, worthwhile?

no it does not give better performance for gaming

games dont even use the full speed of an ssd

 

you only need 2GBps if youre a content creator or something like that

 

for games you want more storage speace, so a larger and cheaper 850 is a better choice
