I'm building a new computer and I'm wanting to use a m.2 ssd for its ssd drive. This computer will be primarily used for gaming ... not super high end but a bit more budget friendly ... using AMD ryzen 2700x with 16 GB 3000mhz ram and a 1660 ti GPU on a gigabyte b450 mobo and I'm wanting to use the m.2 space as a main drive probably at least a 500 GB size but was told it would overheat from gaming use.

i second @popatim 's recommendation. im using an NVMe drive for some games (anthem is one example) and the load times are pretty much the same as my brothers 860 evo. so youll be better off with it and save more money to spend on other stuff like rgb maybe.
