Your GTX 970 will work fine with Resolve 17.xx as it supports CUDA 11. I see no reason why it shouldn't support h264. Mp4 is a container which holds the codec, so for instance, if you play an mp4 video with the likes of VLC or Windows Media Player you are playing H264.
With 4GB of vram you will probably have to use proxy settings for UHD, especially if you use frame rates like 50 or 60fps. I can run 50fps UHD footage with my GTX 1060 if I use a proxy setting.
Make sure the driver is up to date by going to nvidia.com.
As to SSDs they are available in 2 and 4TB sizes. The Sandisk 4TB one is around £500.00 however.
I have a 1TB Samsung for the system and a 500MB one for current files that I am editing. When finished projects get archived onto 3TB spinners so freeing up the SSD.
The media offline problem may be caused by your current storage, but also if you are using the free version of Resolve and the clips are 10bit. For 10bit clips you will need the Studio version of Resolve.
