I'm looking to upgrade my current gpu (GTX 970) to a RTX 2060 Super, but I could really use some advice on compatibility.
My current specs are:
i5-4690K 3.5ghz
4gb GTX 970
8gb ram
Asus Z97P X.0X motherboard
Corsair CS650M PSU
2 x Asus VX279HG monitors (75hz 1080p)
Initially, I only wanted an upgrade to use the monitors (GTX 970 has some screen tearing), but if possible I'd aim to run skyrim on vr at some point.
I've heard I should get an extra 8gb ram, is this fair? If I'm unable to find a matching ram to what's currently in my pc, is that an issue? Is it better to replace with 2 x 8gb ddr3?
I'm also a little unsure about the PSU connections. The 970 currently has 2 x 6+2 pin pci connectors (only using the 2 x6), is it a straightforward swap to use 1 x 6 + 2 on the 2060?
Is there anything else I should be asking or is there anything that looks like it might be incompatible?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
