@TemperedTech  Trust me when I say, 2 SATA SSD (M2+2.5") are much better than 1 SSD. Usually launching a game require a lot of preparation from windows (like loading required libraries, placing programs in background and other things) and loading game assets which are better to be on secondary SSD. As for RAM, well I din't notice any improvement in Final fantasy XV, Tomb Raider (last 3 of them), Elex, Mass Effect (all of them), Risen3, Xcom2 and Resident Evil 2 (all high demanding in terms of hardware). I guess there are some limits about how much power you get from CPU and GPU and extra ram didn't help me at all. It could be different with a mechanical HDD since windows can reduce the use of swap.  Try to consider a 128 gb M2 and 960gb 2.5" As for the socket, it looks like the MB manufacturer decided to use a model which can be fit on any kind of M2 controller just like the choice of screws (2-4 types on modern computers compared to 10-14 types on antiques)   Cheers ...
