im glad to hear that :) U sure that there wont be any problems with this upgrade? And is it worth it? I think its more future proof.

there are probably better deals of memory at 3000MHz or even 3600MHz (especially looking outside of Corsair)

i would look at what gpu you want to get in the future and get that one but you can also look and wait for what on sale too the 550 right now will run everthing you have iv got R7 2700 ,gpu 2060 ko, 16bg rm, asrock b450 and im running a 450wat but i do have a 550 comming so if your going to stick with your 1660 for a while i would not even worry about a new power supply unless you think something is going wrong with it newegg has good deals on power supplys just have to watch for them
