Do you even need one tho? If it's only for os and apps sata is as fast as nvme.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

my motherboard supports it and i have only a hdd(500GB). I have micro ATX build.

Your mobo supports it but that doesn't mean that you MUST own a NVMe SSD. NVMe SSD is too expensive and unless you have a good reason, there's no reason to get one.
For normal/daily uses, a good SATA SSD like 850 EVO will work nicely.
