Title: GPU Mining Rig - Newbie Post by: JawBreaker on September 05, 2016, 12:14:27 AM Hi All, I'm a newbie obviously :P I would like to build a GPU mining rig but honestly i don't know about the suitable setup and i have few questions if any one kind enough to help me:
1- what GPU's to buy and how many? price each? 2- Motherboard? price? 3- what altcoins I can mine with GPU? what would be the H/S for such setup? 4- If I'm bored can i turn it into a gaming PC? :D 5- any useful links to show how to put them together would be highly appreciated, in case they require some special rack or case etc... PS: My budget is $600 - $700 and can be stretched a bit.. and electricity is not an issue.. this setup will be more of a hobby and not to get rich Thanks in advance Title: Re: GPU Mining Rig - Newbie Post by: philipma1957 on September 05, 2016, 12:18:53 AM you need to be in alt coins.
I will ask mod to move it. you can get 2 rx 470's for 400 usd. you can get good 2 card mobos best coins are ETH and XMR you can game with it. I have some threads with info on two card rigs in a case vs 6 cards rigs in a milk crate, Title: Re: GPU Mining Rig - Newbie Post by: philipma1957 on September 05, 2016, 12:24:32 AM I have this thread
