Does my motherboard support this SSD?

[TwisT_S]

2 years ago, with limited knowledge of computers, I was given a brand new PC. An off the shelf PC from Best Buy... oh, if I knew. Since then, I have transferred all of the components in a new case. I changed the PSU and GPU. Now, I want to add an HDD. But the question is: Does my motherboard support it?

Here is the SSD I want:

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147371&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction-Storage&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-Storage-_-Solid%20State%20Disk-_-SAMSUNG-_-20147371&cm_sp=&AID=11892366&PID=6361382&SID=hawk-1446717304

Here are the specifications of my motherboard:

-Form factor: uATX: 24.4 cm (9.6 inches) x 24.4 cm (9.6 inches)

-Chipset: Intel Z87

-Memory sockets: 4 x DDR3

-Processor socket: LGA1150

-Expansion Slots:

-1 PCI Express x16 (Gen3.0)

-3 PCI Express x1 (Gen2.0)

-1 half-length mini card

You can find all the information here: http://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c03927014

One last thing... for games like Fallout 4 and GTA 5, how many GB do you recommend I get?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Yes the drive will work.
Get as big as you can afford. You lose about 20% to overprovisioning and 30gb to os right off the top.
