Adding Parts. GPU, SSD & RAM

[epcbacn77]

Hey,

This is my build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hRnmcf

I am rejiggering things: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LBtTr7

Having some issues with games such as Arma 3 with lag spikes.

Things i'm changing:
-Extra GPU
-60GB SSD
-Adding/swapping RAM

With the GPU I have an error message saying:
2 additional PCI-Express 6-pin power connectors are needed - Would you recommend adding another regarding my problems?

Adding a 60GB SSD for my OS Win 10. Recommend the brand with the other Samsung?

And with the RAM I bought G.Skills DRAM3 1866... and it turns out I got a 1600 -_-
What you guys recommend regarding my mobo? (More than 8GB RAM)

Thanks in advanced!

Your going to want a more powerful PSU to handle 2 970's. I suggest the Antec HGC 850W.

Few words.
Swap the RAM. Went with blue heatsinks to keep your blue theme. For extra 4 quid you get 120GB SK Hynix SSD for your OS drive. Not a bad deal at all. 2nd GPU is the one you picked. And went with a Seasonic PSU that has all the necessary power connectors and enough juice for 2-way SLI.

And here's the list with your build + upgrades for checking compatibility issues (there aren't any),

Cheers!

Do you know anything about CAS and Speeds of the RAM? How do I check if my mobo and cpu can handle it?

Will the two SSD's and HDD work well together? Cheers again

Specs of the picked RAM, including CAS latency, timing and voltage for reaching 1866 Mhz,

Your MoBo supports the picked RAM fully. RAM part number is HX318C10FWK2/16 if you like to look it up by yourself,
source: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Extreme4/?cat=Memory

As far as your CPU support to the RAM goes, it does support DDR3 RAM at speeds 1333/1600 Mhz @ 1.5V. When checking out by yourself, look for a "Memory Types" section,
source: http://ark.intel.com/products/80811/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

Note: you can run your RAM just fine with 1866 Mhz and your system still works like a charm. Just your CPU uses RAM at speeds of 1600 Mhz while the rest of your system uses RAM at speeds 1866 Mhz.

For example: My current Skylake build, i have i5-6600K that supports DDR4 at speeds 1866/2133 Mhz but i'm running my RAM at 3000 Mhz without any issues whatsoever.

As far as storage devices go, i don't see any reason why they shouldn't work together. I got one SSD and two HDDs in my Skylake build and my system is going strong.
