Long story short, one of my computers had a motherboard go bad, and I ended up with an extra ASUS TUF Gaming X3 GeForce GTX 1660 Advanced edition 6GB GDDR5 GPU + 16GB HyperX RAM - The MB is only a few months old and under warranty but I will build another machine with different hardware instead.
I now have two of these:

The motherboard is an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max

SLI looks to be going the way of the dinosaurs and will be replaced with Nvidia's NVLink, which this card doesn't support. In fact, this video card doesn't have an SLI slot at all (not to mention the MB isn't SLI compatible anyway), and I am guessing what we're looking at is a 'transistion card' from SLI to the NVLink. That said, can I run these two cards together in a machine I would use for gaming and streaming at the same time? I have the option to run 32GBs memory as well, but see no advantages since I don't do any heavy video or photo editing.
My processor is a Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core for those curious.
I might want to play some Diablo III and stream using OBS at the same time. I embarrasingly admit I have been out of the 'computer building' game for some time and maybe I could get some advice. Otherwise...I just got a bunch of spare parts lying around that I would like to use ?
Thanks in advance.
