Hello, so i have an acer predator g3-710 with a gtx 970, 8gb ddr4 ram and an i5 6400 processor an i was thinking about upgrading to 16gb ddr4 ram and a gtx 1660 ti but my only problem is that i dont know if the gtx 1660 ti is compatible. Please help!

It should work just fine if the GTX 1660 ti is the right size. Open the case first and measure just to be sure. Your machine *might* have too small of a PSU, you're going to want no less than 500W for the bigger GPU card. Another upgrade you might want to look at is to swap your 6th gen i5 for a 6th gen i7. The i7 should give you more threads. The i5-660 had four cores that can run four threads, the i7-6700 has four cores also, but can do eight threads.

Ok! Will do thanks and about the cpu i will look into it but i guess my i5 6400 is ok for now if i just overclock it for more ghz until i have enough money for a new cpu.
