So I bought my first working gaming pc the other day and I was just wondering what m.2 drive I should get and also if it was smart pairing the i5 7400 w/ a 1050 Ti by asus. My last gaming pc crashed all the time since it had a 9 year old CPU and motherboard paired with a 3 year old 750ti.

Don't bother getting an M.2 drive. If you don't have a decent size 2.5" ssd, invest in one. 

 

CPU/GPU are a reasonable match.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

I was thinking of getting a 500GB ssd from wd that's around $190 Canadian or should I go with sand disk/sea gate?

WD Blue is fine, but you might want to consider a Crucial MX300, ca.pcpartpicker.com is showing the two ~500GB units around the same price.
