MY SETUP:

MB: Asus PRIME B250M-A
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 C14 2x4GB
PSU: EVGA 500W BRONZE

I want to install an SSD to my computer, and enter the best SSD according to the benchmarcks I found this alternative:

>>> 960 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 250GB <<<

Now, according to the PC Build of this benchmarks web page, my setup is compatible with this "PCIe SSD", to which I ask your help to get rid of all doubts regarding this:

1) The compatibility of my "MOTHERBOARD" with that "PCIe SSD" in specific, and;
2) If that "PCIe SSD" will generate problems in terms of the "GPU".

Thank you.

The 960Evo is fully compatible with your board and there should be no issues regarding graphics card. Make sure you install it on the M2_2 slot as its a high bandwidth PCIE slot for NVME drives.
960Evo is a very good choice.
