I can't see 3200MHz RAM on its specs (and manual). You can upgrade RAM but there is no option to upgrade to NVMe SSD.

Hi, @mr-robot369 

If your notebook has an AMD Ryzen processor, it has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's.

Here is a video that shows it can be done...

I'd go with the Samsung 980 PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD.

Here 3200aa doesn't mean 3200 MHz, my ram gives speed of 2400 MHz. And my laptop has nvme slot so I think I can upgrade it.

As I wrote the other day, a NVMe SSD will only work if your notebook has a RYZEN processor. 

All HP M 2 slots look the same. One key  

I have a HP 255 G7 notebook with the AMD A4 processor and the M 2 slot only supports SATA SSD's.

My notebook has AMD Ryzen 3 3300u processor. I'm looking for best nvme SSD and 8gb DDR4 ram for my notebook and I have a budget of 3000 for both. So can you help me finding the best products within this price range.

You're going to have to stretch your budget a little if you want good performing hardware.

This is the 500 GB NVMe SSD I recommend  -  2819 Rs. The 250 GB is a little less expensive but not by much (2,506 Rs).

If you really need to adhere to a 3,000 Rs budget, then this 256 GB drive is OK. But it will not perform as well as the SN570.

Memory: This should work with the existing 8 GB memory chip, and it will automatically bridge to 2400 MHz--1,554 Rs.
