Hi.My computer is i7 6700k GTX 1070,16 GB RAM,z170 pro matherboard.I wanna ask you,what much better NVME VS STANDART SSD.I wanna chose SSD for games because my HDD doesn't enough to games like Kingdom come Delivarance,or Fallout 4,so i wanna ask you would be the big difference between SSD NVME and SATA III for games with open world( parameters:loading textures and run a game).If would'nt be difference i wanna ask you second questions which SSD SATA III choose Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB or which you could advice?60-70 dollars.In my humble opinion the best solution would be buying samsung 850 EVO.Thank you

The main benefit of NVMe is higher bandwidth.

Most games do a significant amount of processing and initializing while loading data, which translates to most showing little to no gain from NVMe since an SATA3 SSD can already feed data faster than the game can process it.

To really benefit from NVMe, you need to be running massive IO loads such as a high traffic database. Most home users aren't doing anything of that sort.

For a game drive, the NVMe is absolutely not necessary.
A good SATA III SSD is fine.
Samsung 850 or 860, or a Crucial MX500.
