Aurora R9, upgrading RAM, GPU
Hi,
I'm back after the help I was given on these boards (thank you very much....again).
Next I'm going to replace and upgrade my ram but I am not sure what ram to get & / or is compatible.
I'm learning as I go you see.
This is what I am looking at : https://www.littlewoods.com/hyperx-16gb-3200mhz-ddr4-cl16-dimm-kit-of-2-xmp-predator-rgb-memory/1600336876.prd
Yes I know its overpriced but I have a thing about forking out money all at once, I like to be able to pay it off monthly and have extra money for fun stuff.
The GPU : https://www.littlewoods.com/zotac-gpu-nv-rtx2060-super-amp-8gb-fan/1600428892.prd or https://www.littlewoods.com/zotac-gpu-nv-rtx2060-super-mini-8gb-fan/1600428905.prd
Any advice is welcome!
1. Well the specs say it supports up to Hyperx fury, and the predator is a higher class so not technically supported. I don't know anyone who has tried hyperx predator so I can't otherwise comment there. It could work fine, or it could just downclock, or it may blackscreen on post.
2. My only suggestion is to look for a blower style GPU like the Asus turbo, msi aero, or gigabyte turbo series. The small form factor case has a harder time expelling heat with open air double fan gpus. And to be mindful of PSU limitations and recommended system power if you have a 460w PSU.

$774.39 USD for a zotac 2060 super!!?? That is highway robbery. Are they really that expensive in the UK? Have you checked amazon?
