I have a m2 960 evo 250gb accompanied by an 860 evo sata 250gb, the latter I will pass it to the laptop and incidentally increase some gb to the PC, my idea is 860 evo 500gb, but I have also seen this M2, Crucial p1 500gb for similar price, also believe that it is worthwhile to buy the crucial M2? or some other suggestion?

my basic use is to play, and sometimes download 4k movies of 60gb.
 
I'd go for the Samsung if you're downloading large files on the regular. The Crucial P1 has a TBW (Total Bytes Written) of 100PB. The Samsung SSD has a TBW of 300PB. It simply means the Crucial "should" break after it has 100 petabytes of data written to it, while the Samsung can handle 3 times that data. Now, I'm not expecting you to write 100PB to the drive as 1PB is 1000 Terabytes, but Blurays will quickly build up that TBW.
