hello recently i am thinking about upgrading my 1 year old htpc machine which has a Gigabyte H310M m.2 2.0 motherboard . I am running a 128 gb ssd pci e ssd on it . But i am going to upgrade to a gtx 1650 4 gb ddr6 but at a loss whether or not my gpu slot would work with the m.2 ssd installed . Please someone clarify.

It should function, though it might operate in PCIE 3.0 x8 rather than x16. The difference is negligible for a GTX 1650.
