    Ordered a load of kit today as a new PC for the wife.
    Bit Fenix Prodigy mini-itx case
    Corsair CS550m PSU
    Asus Z97I - Plus Mini-ITX Board
    Intel Core I5-4690k
    Crucial M500 480gb M2 SSD
    Galax GTX 970

    as far as i'm aware i should have plenty of grunt without too much power use.

    However, i've taken a bit of a jump on an M2 SSD to keep things tidy. i'm assuming it should be no different to plugging in an normal S-ATA SSD, but i could do with someone confirming or denying that, and if so, what do i need to do to get it bootable.

    Cheers

    Just checked the M2 slot is on the back of the motherboard and your SSD should have the right plug.
