There are a few different pci-e SSD's for $100 and below that are 120-256gb. Are they good purchases? That's large enough for your OS, base applications, and a game.
They are with out a doubt faster than any SATA drive by a couple times but will that actually translate to snappiness or responsiveness in real world use?
In my personal experience using a display model Surface with pci-e storage applications opened obscenely fast.

Intel 600p - 128gb $65
WD Black - 256gb $110
Corsair MP500 - 240gb $134
Samsung 960 evo - 250gb $140

I'm considering the WD Black because it's on sale. Perhaps two 128gb 600ps in RAID0 would be worth while as well.

NVMe raid is difficult, on Z170 at least and probably Z270 as well
600p is cheap but barely has any advantage over a SATA SSD (beside sequential reads)
The 960 evo and pro are absolutely fast

Just know that if you use your computer mainly for gaming, you are going to have little to no improvements over Sata ssd

Well of course in-game there would be just about no difference. I do play games on my computer but I'm using browsers, music, communications, visual studio, office, etc for the majority of the time.

My board in particular supports it and it's z170 and it's widely supported in z270 models.

Is dirt cheap and only 20k 4k read iops slower than a 960 evo. Although I suppose $130 for the 250gb 960 evo is reasonable.

Of course it "supports" it, but what if you want to use a SATA drive also? What if you want to boot from raid?
Why don't you google how that goes for people?

Really the biggest difference comes from sequential writing, copying large files, not loading up randomized data
Really there's just not a lot of situations where the extra sequential speed makes a huge difference
