I'm using gigabyte h77-ds3h mobo and it doesn't have m.2 so I've bought this adapter https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/JEYI-SK9-Pro-m-2-expansion-NVMe-adapter-NGFF-turn-PCIE3-0-cooling-fan-SSD-dual/710516_32766419542.html?ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_5_10152_5011115_10065_10151_10344_10068_5011215_10342_10343_10340_10059_10341_10696_100031_10084_10083_10103_10618_10307_10624_10623_10622_10621_10620,searchweb201603_16,ppcSwitch_4&algo_expid=d0495a61-603f-40f8-b6f6-f47bfb45a4b4-7&algo_pvid=d0495a61-603f-40f8-b6f6-f47bfb45a4b4&transAbTest=ae803_2&priceBeautifyAB=0 for $12 so can I use this setup for samsung 970 evo 250GB or 500GB. Will it work and can it deliver full read/write speed?

PS: I forgot to mention that currently my mobo has Gtx 650 installed on pciex16 and a wifi bluetooth card on pciex4

You'll only get full read and write speed if it's a PCIe x 4 Gen 3 which your board supports. But you'll have to use one of the x16 slots (preferably the x16 wired as x4 slot) to do that as it won't get full speed if it's installed in one of the x1 slots.

Also, it probably can not be used as the 'boot' drive, but maybe someone else has ideas on that.

No boot so it's useless for me since I only want to speed up windows and softwares. ok then I'll first purchase z390 and thanks for the help guys it was the right choice to ask here before spending $270
