I have currently a EVGA 2060, however I was wanting to add a 1070 or something to a second pcie slot mainly for using that as a dedicated rendering/3d modeling/etc gpu. I wondering if that will work and how/what i would have to do.

My motherboard situation is complicated because its an OEM board. Speccy says its a "B560 DS3H AC-Y1 (U3E1)" - Gigabyte, yes yes i know its a cheap board.
Furthermore i only have a 600 watt psu (80+ gold TT 'smart'), I might be able to trade with a friend or something for a 650 watt if needed to run the multi gpu setup. Or if that wouldnt work i could go and buy a 800w or something.

in short, will multi gpu work and is my motherboard and psu good enough.

system specs:
from speccy:
CPU
Intel Core i5 @ 2.60GHz 28 °C
Skylake Technology i5 11400f
RAM
32.0GB
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. B560 DS3H AC-Y1 (U3E1)
Graphics
XG270HU (2560x1440@59Hz) --- its at 144 hz but ok speccy...
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (EVGA) ---- 6gb vram??
Storage
476GB INTEL SSDPEKNW512G8 (Unknown (SSD))
some otherHDDS and stuff

There is NO WAY you can have a working Skylake CPU in that motherboard, unless it's a mistake. Skylake is 6th gen and your motherboard supports 10th and 11th gen.
What exact i5 do you have?

Speccy has a known bug with VRAM, you have 6GB, don't worry.
