Need some help with this setup

Im looking to get these: (I already have an i5 4590)

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H97PRO_GAMER/overview/

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-950-512GB-PCIe-NVMe/dp/B01639694M/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451334428&sr=1-6&keywords=m.2+ssd

I am wondering if the m.2 slot on the motherboard will capture the entire speed of the m.2 ssd (the 512gb version with 2.5gb read and 1.5gb write) and also if there would be any compatability issues with either the mobo or cpu?

Thanks in advance

No it won't. You don't have an x4 pcie3 m.2 port. You have pcie2 @10gb/s. For reference sata3 is 6gb/s.

Thanks. Where does it show the speed? I cannot find it in the mobo specs

I beleive it was in the manual.
