Hi All
So I'm about to build my first system that will be used for AAA games and photoshoping. I've read as much as possible on the difference between M.2 and SATA storage but I can work out if there is a motherboard conflict ('eating up PCIs lanes?) with the GPU as Part Picker suggested?
As far as I understand it, I can get a M.2 PCIe for the same price as a Sata option:
£130 Samsung PM951 512GB M.2 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe Solid State Drive (MZVLV512HCJH-00000)
or
£115 Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB 2.5 inch Solid State Drive
So my question is will there be a conflict and is either easier to install the OS on for a Noob like me?
