I have this motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/P55GD80/Specification

looking to upgrade hard drive and was wondering if it can take a PCIe one

maybe this one: https://www.newegg.com/samsung-970-evo-plus-1tb/p/N82E16820147743?Item=N82E16820147743

If you're searching for SATA SSD, try using Google/Bing for 2.5" SSD.

Some common brands and model are WD Blue, Samsung 860 or 870, or Crucial MX.
