I recommend it, really great for a moderate budget.
29 June 2021 
If not M.2, then take this SSD at 512 GB or higher, less is much worse and not only in terms of total memory.
Speed, ease of installation, stable operation without overheating, on socket 1150: Asus H97M-Plus + i5-4670 + Corsair CL9 1600 2 * 4 GB works smartly without glitches and problems on Windows 7/64. When evaluating the system showed max 7.9. I took at a discount about 1800 UAH 512 GB.
Haven't found anything yet.
