MB with M2 nvme support for i7 8700

[clemontin]

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a few new components at pretty good prices due to the black friday / winter holiday sales and I would like to ask for your help in choosing the best MB.
- CPU, the i7 8700 non K version
- Solid-State Drive (SSD) Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB, M.2-2280
- Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB DDR4 3000MHz CL16 Dual Channel Kit

I am now looking for a MB to go with my new build. I am not interested in any OC so I believe that a B360 would suffice.
I looked around a bit and found some good options in my current budget, I believe:
- https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-B360-PLUS-GAMING/
- https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-B360-PRO-GAMING/
What I am mostly interested is to benefit of the M2 drive at its full capacity and not having it work at lower speeds. Having 2 M2 slots is an added value as well, as in the future I am thinking of adding another one in order to clear some PC case space - the second one can run at lower sata speeds.

I have been thinking of going for the cheapest z370 chipset, but I am not sure if the money difference would bring a significant performance boost by OC-ing the RAM - on this topic, I have heard rumors that a Z chipset would somewhat benefit the CPU as well as all cores would run at their max speed, 3.4Ghz?


Thank you in advance for your support!

In addition to the above, I will be using the PC for gaming and streaming mostly.
The GPU is an RTX 2070.

I didin't specify earlier that the PC should boot from the M2 drive.
I've read a bit more online and found out that some motherboards cannot boot from the M2 drive.
Graphics wise, will a B360 be enough?

In about the same budget I have found ASRock Z370 PRO4.
Would this be enough to run the PC as I wish to ?


Thank you in advance for some MB suggestions.
I am eager to find a solution to this so that I can start building the new rig.
