At present time, if we're talking about general home use (browsing, streaming, gaming, guess occasional file transfers), is there going to be a big difference between a sata ssd and an nvme ssd?

To go along with the rest I've had time to play with a 3700X & NVMe setup after being on my "main" 3770K & SSD setup from 2013. Loading a game like Astronner on both several times I've noticed yeah sure the newer machine is faster to load the game but it's not dramatic given the 7 year difference. The bigger difference is plainly the CPU given how much faster sites load on the the machine. It's making me want to upgrade the older setup but I could absolutely make the SSD an "upgrade later" part in that as it wouldn't act as much more of a bottleneck from what i've experienced.

In fact the biggest thing I could do to speed up load time was exempt the folder from the virus scanner as that was eating up a ton of CPU to scan the same files every drat time.
