[SOLVED] Is this ssd compatible?

Solution
This motherboard?
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X470-GAMING-PLUS/Specification

The M.2 ports on that are PCIe 3.0.
You chosen Sabrent drive is 4.0.

It will work, but you're wasting money on a 4.0 drive in a 3.0 port.

Just thought I'd switch out my old harddrive and get an ssd, and I was looking for one that was really fast, from what I'm seeing this one seems to be the main contender, is the ssd I have in this parts list completely compatible with my parts? And what do I have to do to make it boot off of it and for my processes to run off of it?
