That's pretty slick. You're probably going directly into an NVMe slot vs NVMe memory on a PCIe slot.
I haven't 'built' a PC in a few decades. It might be a fun project but I'm not sure what I would do with it afterwards ;-)
When I was working I managed to repurpose a couple older servers to the SETI project and then Folding@home - donating distributed computing resources via the internet. The electric bill was on the company dime. I even let them have a few cycles from my Mac but that was notoriously slow compared to some of the built up PCs with NVIDA GPU.

Yes, M.2 slot. The motherboard (see link below)has 3 of them, one PCIe 5 and two PCIe 4. I'm using the PCIe 5 slot but the 990 Pro is PCIe 4.
Built a new PC after using the old one for about 15 years since it became obsolete if I wanted to move to Windows 11. The new machine has an AMD Ryzen 7 9700 and 32GB of 6000 MHz RAM. With Windows 11 loaded it's a real pleasure to use.
Got all the parts at my local Best Buy except for the power supply. I wanted the Seasonic brand so ordered from Newegg (850W for some excess capacity).
The other nice thing is the noise level, or lack of it. Sitting 2 feet away it's nearly dead quiet.

  That's a nice build. I've done too many builds and sometimes it seems like it costs more than just buying one. B&H had a deal last year for a Lenovo Legion Tower 7i, Intel i9, 32GB of 5600Mhz, 1TB M.2 and GeForce RTX 4080 (16GB) and I added a 2TB M.2 and 128GB of RAM. It's fast and silent.
  
  The only problem that I had was figuring out how to turn off the LED colors and light show on all the front 3 fans.
  
  Why do people like that?
