1tb m.2 for gaming

[mellow yellow]

i have never used an m.2 before but my new mobo has space for one so i think that is the way to go.

i have a 120 ssd for windows, and currently use a 1tb HD for games but i'm doing a fresh install of windows to tidy everything up so i think an additional m.2 for games would best suit my needs. should i also keep the hd for misc/overflow?

my budget is as close to £100 as possible but i get lost with all the brands and speeds etc, looks it not a major issue, but it can be seen through my side panel so nothing too ugly

as a side note is there any benefit to having apps like soundblaster/icue/nvidia on the m.2 or should they just be used on the hd if i keep it?
