[SOLVED] upgrading my build

[livefishguy124]

so here is what it curently has

gigabite z390 m gaming

i5 9600k

asus geforce gxt 1060

2x corsair vengance 8gb

2x samsung 860 evo 500gb

corsair rm650x

i am looking at the option of upgrading the computer i want to add 2 860 evo 1tb

i also wanted to add a 2nd graphics card, do i need to add the exact same one or can i add a 1080 or something.

i also wanted to add more ram. do i need to add the same sticks or can i get 2 16gb sticks intead?

also to account for the added video card and ram what processor should i run and what is a good rgb fan or should i run water cooling?

what yall think?

1) It will support it but do you really need that much storage space?

2) The 1060 does not have sli support so adding another wont wont help performance in games at all. If you upgraded to a 1080 there would be no point in leaving the 1060 in the system, it wont be used, it will just suck power for no reason.

3) mixing ram is hit or miss, I certainly wouldn't recommend adding 16gb sticks that likely wont work. Two more 8gb sticks might work. But again do you need it? Adding more ram will only help if you using all of what you currently have, which I highly doubt if this is a gaming pc.

thaks for the quick reply. i want to add more memory ive burned through more than half what i have in only a month. but i guess i will wait do do upgrades since i will have to replace the video card all together and there is nothing wrong with it.
