I have i7-3770 and was wondering what motherboard to get and will it work with these new PCI Express SSD cards?

Intel Z77 Express

And the PCI Express SSD card will work in the slot with the PCI express 3.0. I picked the Z77 for the two PCI express 3.0 slots.

Does it support NVMe SSD cards? Like this one:

You will need to use M.2 X4 Adapter with SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 2280 250GB PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe card. LINK: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...6KDMk-yqgUuhlz3MMU8aAp9qEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Will it be able to boot from it?

Also will speed be the same as if I have genuine mobo that supports M.2?

It should be able to boot. However check with the motherboard manufacture to make sure. 3.0 x4 slot will be just as fast as the motherboard that supports the M.2.

The manual will tell you if its bootable or not.
