HYPER M.2 X4 MINI CARD compatibility

[lookout48469]

Jumped to fast i think. Needed to research some more. I havent been up to date on computer tech for awhile now. I have a WD Black 256GB Performance SSD - M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive - WDS256G1X0C on the way. I ordered after i thought the HYPER M.2 X4 MINI CARD would work. Now i have some questions. I cant find anywhere that says what type of m2 connector is on the hyper m.2 mini card? I dont know if the wd will fit? My next question is i noticed asus says compatible with certain chipsets?Wondering if my msi 970a-g46 mobo will work. It is a 2.0 but i read its back words compatible with 2.0 and 1.0. I read a thread about someguy needed a bios hack to work with his older mobo? O what did i get myself into. Component's should be here in a week so lets see what i can learn by then. Waiting for asus chat to come online maybe have some answers later.

More on my current system, bought in 2008/2009 maybe 2010 but= win7ultimate x64; phenom 2 x6 1090t ; msi 970a-g46 model# ms-7693; the ram is 32gb not sure atm but think its 1300 or 1600mhz ddr3; new rx580 oc4gb; 2tb 7400 rpm Wd harddrive and two 4tb wd 5400 rpm hard drives,not sure about the other things not at home atm.looking for about a month now on new computer hardware. I am wanting to upgrade to the following, i7-6850k ; rog rampage v edition 10; the ram is capable of ddr4 3333mhz in the mobo but i mite get 3000 if cheapier, keep the hard drives and ill have the new m2 250gb to fit in the mobo. After that i mite consider a 1080ti but that should be good for years ? No? Thoughts anyone please. Thanks
