m.2 in pcie 2.0 worth it?

[hotaru251]

No idea on motherboard model. (fun times)

I have had it since i think 2013 or 2014.

I am assuming it is a pcie 2.0 (given that year timeframe).

Is it worth buying a pcie to m.2 card if that is the case?

I know it wont get best speeds, but if i use it for gaming will it matter? (prolly still faster than normal hdd?)

also would it encounter issues with my GPU (1060)?

Most likely not. High probablility, you won't be able to boot from it anyway.
Get regular 2.5" SATA SSD.

Hard to tell, without any info about the motherboard. Probably would be fine. Just make sure your PSU is decent quality and powerful enough for this upgrade or you risk damaging your pc.

Probably not.

1. You can't boot from it
2. It probably won't see the full speed of that drive anyway
3. For your gaming use, it won't make a lick of difference over a regular SSD

I wouldn't.
