as long as it works, it works

if it doesn't, get one (NVidia sells them, that's the ones I would buy)

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Yours would be fine but Nvidia says to get maximum performance you need the expensive HB Bridge.

It'll only matter at high resolutions and then only like 5%

yea i would try sli with this one and if you notice that you should be getting better performance according to some benchmarks, then you can just order one of those faster bridges
