That ram is fine, but I would pick up this samsung ram instead if I were youhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147096-16gb (2x8gb) DDR3 1600 or 1333 G.Skill RAM (is this still a good brand? Haven't built a computer since 2006)
SLI isn't going to solve your issues. "Skryim+50 visual mods" means you are likely VRAM limited, and SLI does not increase your VRAM (it doesn't double, it mirrors). If you are running a 2GB 560 then look at a 3GB 7900 series or 4GB 600 series. There are also a few reviews that show Skyrim mods so you can see if a 2GB 600 series will benefit you enough. If you are running a 1GB 560 then you have more options.So I've using a 560 TI, some superclocked thing at 900mhz. It's 100% fine still for any game except Skyrim+50 visual mods, so I'm kind of thinking of either upgrading or adding a 2nd one. Thoughts on replacing it with a 670 or similar, or just getting another 560 TI and going SLI? I've never really meddled with SLI before, so don't know many pros/cons about it. I thought this was going to be an easy decision as the 560 is getting a bit older and I could pick one up for cheap, but they are still in the ~250$ range so that made this a bit more complicated.
Thanks mate, I'm using the 1gb version and I assumed adding another would work additively (probably not a word, whatever), but if it just mirrors like that then yea there is no point in a 2nd 560.SLI isn't going to solve your issues.

FYI: I have this same question. Been thinking of SLI'ing my set up. I have never done it before, but I can snag an identical 570 GTX EVGA Superclocked card for around $250.00. Unfortunately, Amandtech doesn't show SLI 570 GTX as a comparison bench set up when comparing this to a 670 or even a 680.So I've using a 560 TI, some superclocked thing at 900mhz.
