Hi does gigabyte z87x ud3h support m2 pcie ssd? If not then what type of pcie ssd should be supported? I use graphics card on pcie x16 slot. Please guys help me to get a good budget ssd . Don't want to live in this slow hdd loading anymore.

It doesn't have M.2 slot.
Only way you could use M.2 nvme drive on it is with M.2 pcie adapter.
Also such solution most likely will not be bootable. You could use it for secondary storage only.

Just go sata ssd

Then which type of pcie ssd i can use?

Why do you need pcie ssd?
Even sata ssd will be huge improvement over mechanical hdd. Samsung 860 evo for example.

pcie faster

It's faster in benchmarks only.
In real world use scenarios performance difference is not that impressive.

What do you want to use it for?

If you're coming from a hdd. An sata drive will make you grin ear to ear. I and many others use them, they're much MUCH quicker even on sata.

PCIe faster, however Gigabyte did not offer support for booting from NVMe PCIe storage devices on Intel Series 8 Chipset motherboards. You would need a third-party modified BIOS or software such as Clover for that.
