you cant put that gtx 950 in sli unless you want to use it as a physx card. Which is pointless considering there are only a few games that support it.

Yes but no point have a 1060 and a 950. Just sell the 950. Ram should work fine but may not be compatible with the ram you have atm if your wanting to use it with the 16gb u already have. The 500gb hdd will work no problem

i7 6700k @4.8ghz 1.45v

ROG Maximus Hero VIII

Gigabyte G1 980ti Sli @1500 ghz

Samsung 950 pro 512gb

16gb G.Skill Ripjawz V @3400mhz 

Corsair H115i 280mm AIO

Corsair 400c Case

Corsair RM1000i

 

Backup/Older/Toys:

Intel i3 6100 @4.6ghz 1.52v

Asrock B150M Pro4/Hyper

Intel 750 series 400gb

Radeon Rx 470 XFX

Thermaltake Water 3.0 360mm AIO 

inWin 303 case

 

AMD Phenom II x4 940 @3.9ghz 1.65v

you CANT sli a 950 and a 1060 , you can have both in the system, but its useless since the 950 will just sit there and eat energy

LOL, what specs is that computer running, since it has DDR4 it really shouldn't be poo and maybe only a couple things need upgrading inst3ead of a totally new system...

When in doubt, re-format.

there are pentiums that support it

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

its CPU heavy and GPU light, an I5 and a more powerfull GPU is the prefered setup but this isnt bad

You don't have to sell it, but don't put it in the same system as a 1060 because it can olny stand to reduce performance and chew up more power.

When in doubt, re-format.
