help with pc compatibility

[golden-fries]

i built my future build on pc part picker and i got this message "The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6Gb/s port is disabled."

That just means that, with your motherboard, if you use an M.2 drive, NVMe- then one of your SATAIII ports will not work, that's just because it's using that channel that was once for a SATA port, for your NVMe. And, that's completely fine, unless you intended to fill every single SATA port with a drive of some sort. NVMe is faster than nearly all SSDs anyhow, so the loss of a SATA port is minimal when using a 32gb/s drive.
