Oh, The main purpose was to boot from that ssd. Thank you for the informationFYI you won’t be able to boot from a drive using g that adapter but you can use it for storage.

Your motherboard:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-B75M-D3V-rev-10/sp#sp
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCI Express 3.0 )
Presumably you have a GPU in that slot?
2 x PCI Express x1 slots (PCI Express 2.0 standard )
A current NVMe drive in the PCIe 2.0 x1 slot will be much much slower than what they can do. Possibly slower than a standard SATA III SSD.
Waste of time and money.
A new motherboard capable of using an NVMe drive is a whole new system.Yes I do have GPU in the x16.
So do you suggest for going to higher motherboard? If yes, Any suggestion for which one?
What storage devices are in this now?
What do you use the system for?
Put in a 500GB or 1TB SATA III SSD, 2.5" format.1)HDD 250GB
2)Home use
Your current i5-3470+DDR3 RAM cannot work on that motherboard.Yes, What you said was one way to do so but my computer has become old. Changing to another motherboard can really help me for further upgradation in the future.
I will stay on the same CPU, RAM, GPU.
I'am currently looking for motherboard Asus Prime B460M-A mATX. What do toy say about it?

As suggested, I would upgrade to a SATA SSD, which will improve the performance of your system.Yes sure,

Motherboard support page is the main resource for compatibility info.What is the best way to check hardware compatibility? I
on that link, I can see the motherboard does support i5 processors and DDR4 memory. So if I choose this mb I only need to change the ram. Am I right?Motherboard support page is the main resource for compatibility info.
It will list compatible cpus and also it will list compatible type of DRAM, that goes with that board.

"i5" covers a decade or more, and 10x generations.on that link, I can see the motherboard does support i5 processors and DDR4 memory. So if I choose this mb I only need to change the ram. Am I right?

It doesn't support just any i5.I can see the motherboard does support i5 processors and DDR4 memory. So if I choose this mb I only need to change the ram. Am I right?
Because my computer has become very old. If i did not do it now it seems that i will be doing in the next years... moreover i am facing trouble problems when using multiple screens on that set.Why are you looking to spend $300 on upgrading a system to get a faster drive when you can just buy an SSD that works with your computer for 1/5th of that or less? Your 3rd gen i5, 8 GB of RAM and the new SSD is just fine for "home use".
And still, the difference between SATA III SSD and NVMe is not nearly as large as the sequential benchmark implies."Home use" is quite broad meaning. For one it is web browsing and occasional typing in word processor. For someone else - hardcore gaming, video encoding or other similar stuff capable to use CPU as local coffee cup heater too.
