I'm looking for some help to add storage to my son's gaming PC, as we're not very tech-savvy. We're considering options for both storage and quieter fans. I have a Cyberpower PC with a B550 UD AC motherboard, and it seems like it supports two M.2 PCI-Express SSDs. I'm unsure how to proceed since I can't share images. Any easy suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You can upload images to a site like imgur.com to share what you have, but it sounds like your motherboard can handle two M.2 NVMe SSDs. If you already have two, consider adding a SATA SSD for more storage or using a PCI-E slot adapter for additional drives. It's pretty straightforward!
For adding storage, I recommend getting an SSD. This one is great: [Patriot P400 Lite 1TB NVMe SSD](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Xy3NnQ/patriot-p400-lite-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-p400lp1kgm28h). As for quieter fans, go with these: [Arctic P12 Pro Fans](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wHpD4D/arctic-p12-pro-pst-77-cfm-120-mm-fans-5-pack-acfan00307a). They're effective and quiet!
Thanks for those links! If we end up needing to go the SATA route because we already have two M.2 SSDs, do you have any specific SATA SSD recommendations?
