Only as a storage drive, not a boot drive.
And you will need the PCIE adapter card to install it with.

May you direct me to a PCIE adapter card on Amazon? I don't trust my own judgement on what to look for.

Don't bother. Just get a SATA III SSD.
Any speed benefit of an NVMe will be lost on that motherboard.

What do you use this system for?

I just want it to be able to run GTA V on the lowest graphics settings, to be honest.

Right now I have a ST1000DM010-2EP102, and I get 100% disk usage and a slideshow of a game, with all Windows settings using as little disk usage as possible and with the lowest graphics settings possible.

I have the Samsung 860 EVO on a wishlist. I'm just worried that since GTA V currently easily consumes my entire disk without stressing my other hardware out at all, I should aim high as I can to be 100% sure I can run it.

In the context of games, there is a large difference between HDD and solid state.
Not much if any difference between solid state types. SATA III, PCIe 3.0, PCIe 4.0.

With Sata becoming .. depreciated(?) I suggest getting an NVME drive which would transfer over to a new system as a a speedy boot drive but only if you are running Win10. Microsoft took the NVME driver off for Win7 (and I don't generally trust sites that have it) so to run an NVME drive on W7 you will need a Samsung NVME and use their driver.

I have this adapter for my Intel 660p
