[Luzio1]

Hello, can you tell me if HP 8704 is compatible with 

Samsung 990 PRO 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 (2280) SSD Interno (MZ-V9P2T0BW) - B0BM459NHM

????

thank you.

Hi:

The Samsung 990 PRO 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD will work fine, but since your PC's Dorado motherboard's M.2 SSD slot is only PCIe Gen 3.0, the Gen 4.0 SSD will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds.

This table shows the maximum transfer speeds each PCIe slot generation can support:

So can you advise me a better motherboard and a better cpu also?
I dont think a need a new cpu because mine is a i5-10400F but I need a better motherboard and a better graphics card because I have a 1660 Super so if you can advise on that it would be great, I also have 32GB RAM

Please start a new discussion on that, because I don't know what motherboards will fit in your PC or what graphics cards you could install in the motherboard you want to buy, or if the graphics card you want needs a higher wattage power supply.
