Hi. My motherboard is the Gigabyte A320M-S2H V2-CF (AM4). I am looking for a cheap SSD that i could install windows and a couple small games on if anyone could help that would be amazing

well
any ssd should work.

i believe that board has both plentiful sata ports for sata ssds and an m.2 nvme 4x slot.

a crucial p1 would be a great budget nvme ssd, while a crucial mx500 is one of the best ssds you can find on the cheap
if youre looking for bigger capacities, but still low price, intel 660p ssds are quite good for price as you can get 1tb of them for pretty cheap.
samsung is regarded as the best in performance and/or reliability, but they are usually pretty expensive, but a 970 evo plus is the cheapest one they have, and still out performs most of the competition.

Hello I have found a Kingston a400 m.2 SSD do you think this would be a good choice?

That is a dramless ssd, which i would say is a bad buy for an os.
its not a bad drive, and if its much cheaper/much higher capacity i would actually buy it, but if you could find an ssd with a dram cache, that would be better.
