Should work great. If you are just gaming though a 970 is overkill. Get an Intel 660p.
Or 2TB for $199Thanks, I'm a work from home software dev so this would be a business expense. That, and to host a massive xplane 11 install haha. 1TB only £155 on black friday sales too.
Or 2TB for $199

Hmm. So I'd be going from:

https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compa...-970-Evo-Plus-NVMe-PCIe-M2-1TB/m1519vsm693540
Versus

Thoughts? I guess, is the 1TB extra storage worth the perf cost. Probably is, right?
Unless you are transferring a lot of large files then you’ll never notice the difference in speed between a 660p and a 970 evo plus.
