I recently purchased this computer, and while it's going through the testing process I wanted to do a little leg work.

It only has a 240gb SSD. I play multiple games and stream on Twitch. I feel like I need to buy a larger SSD. Does anyone have a recommendation on a larger SSD or should I just buy a large secondary harddrive?

IMO, perfect for games is a SATA SSD. I highly recommend the Samsung 860 EVO 1TB, which is currently on Amazon at $147! You can't beat that with a stick!

Just ordered it. Do you know if it's possible to add this SSD to my current system and keep the 240gb SSD it comes with?

It has room for 2 X 2.5" and 2 X 3.5" drives, no problem adding a second SSD.

Your wiring should come with several power hookups for additional drives. Look for the same type plug as your other drives are connected with in the carefully bundled wiring behind your motherboard. you will probably have to cut a zip tie to liberate one.

You may have to buy a SATA cable. My rigs have come with one extra, but I never got one with two SATA drives. They are very inexpensive and easy to find. One end goes to the drive, and the other goes to a SATA hook-up on your motherboard. Just follow the cable from your other drives to find that spot.

You'll have to format the new drive for it to show up on your system.
