Budget (including currency): 1400

Country: Canada 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: i mostly use it for online poker playing 3 different sites at a time, up to 12 tables at one time, wile running a tracking program in the background (hm3) i would like the new rig to be able to run a solver for studying as well as play all new game titles.and possibly streaming

right now i am running a

Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz
12 gig of ram
Video Card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
a 1 T hard drive .
 
i also ordered 16 gigs of dd4 ram
i have a friend selling a gtx 2060 6gb vram oc edition and a 550 power supply the pair for 350$ i paid 950 for the pre build and the ram 
my plan is to up grade the ram power supply and graphics card and put the 1 T drive in it i have for extra storage
for monitors i have a 27 curved acer and a older 24 inch benq the long term i plan to get another 27 curved and use the benq as a third
just a light up no name key board but its mechanical and for a mousey i have a rat 8+
 
 
im just nervous everything isn't going to work together or if there's any more things is should pick up to make it run smoother as there is some room in the budget

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

If your friend selling you a 2060 with a psu (whatever is that was) i suggest to just build from scrap for better value since you said you also going to buy another kit of ram anyway

It should be fine as long as you have a 600w psu or above. It WOULD work with a 550w but thats at like the minimum. It should work. I dont know why you didnt just build your own pc as you could have gotten an 11400f and an rtx 3060 even for that price. You probably have a reason though. The point is it should work.

Nah, 500W is perfectly fine for a 2060.
