    You can go with Samsung 970 evo plus.
    Most of the people using it but its completely upto your wish.

    Schnaz personally i think if youre just using it for gaming you dont need to spend money on nvme sata is more than enough you would only need nvme if you are planning or do rendering works apart from that its wasting money but its just my opinion im more than happy with my wd blue 3d nand 2tb and in fact only had to move 2 games to the ssd (MHW and Anthem) to be able to play them fine all other games are mainly running from my external 2.5" 5tb hdd and all run just fine :)

    I read a lot of reviews for NVME drives and the Samsung EVO+ line seems to be the best reviewed.

    If you are on budget go for Samsung PM 981. It is available on aliexpress for 78$.

    as xapim said above, if your needs are not data heavy, go for sata ssd.
    i have used both sata (original which came with machine) and samsung 970 nvme ssd, and i dont find any difference in speeds or laptop response time, between the two.
    my usage is normal use.
