Title: Have free power, Want new gaming ish rig, and to mine.
Post by: takagari on March 12, 2016, 01:56:37 PM
I'm in the market to build a new mining rig. and have been googling around with out much luck, can anyone point me to a good source of where people are keeping up to date on the latest combo's that work, what the best bang for the buck video card is etc.

Looking to build a 4gpu rig which can be used for a bit of gaming when I feel like it. but mainly for mining.


Thanks

asrock h81 pro btc, 4 gb, 32-64 gb ssd, pentium haswell r g3220, 6 riser usb, open frame and a good psu with 1500w-1600w, i like the corsair but it's expensive, you can try wiht the leap

6 gpu i like 970 because it will be more easy to sell i think, g1 gaming are sold like nothing, but amd is better on ethereum not by much though

There is no need fo rthe Pentium haswell  G3220. You just need the G1820. It is much cheaper than the Pentium.

20 euro cheaper yes, but the g3220 is more easily "resellable", also it's better if you need a cpu for cpu mining, from time to time there are good cpu coin

Yeah that G3220 is definitely going to make a big difference when it comes to cpu mining  :-\

Any simple cheap cpu will do fine.

i dunno the celeron will do fine with the whole system when running wallet for synching? seems too cheap for a cpu

I have the G1620 CPU. I have several wallets. It can cope with the mining and wallet synchronization, no problem.
