I have Corsair VS450 in a GXT 960 + GTX 980 (non OC) + i5-4570 ZEC mining is totally ok (up to 230 Sol/s with eqm_v1.0.2b_Win64 ) Cards are 65W+170W As i see, it can be 2xGTX 1070, too (little less than 125W per one) Also you can use undervolting 3xRX470.. (will be near 500 Sol/s with Claymore miner and floating from 60w to 135w per card) But i can advise to look at, say, 4xGPU with 750W PCU I'm use one GPU for gaming and other - for mining (other time - all for mining) Title: Re: [ASK] how to build a miner with psu 450 Post by: antaja on November 27, 2016, 07:15:40 AM i want to build a pc for mining purpose but with psu 450, its ok if it would only run 1 vga cause im a gamer too i can use it for playing, anyone have recomendation of the full build? im thinking about using r9nano but im not sure about the build and if it could run or if its going to be effective with the psu, im a tech noob afterall, thanks in advance for any answer Case profit will be low, It will gives you basic mining understanding only, but you can do it!

(As a Gamer, you can look at MSI B150M GAMING PRO or Z170M MORTAR ) Title: Re: [ASK] how to build a miner with psu 450 Post by: antaja on November 27, 2016, 07:55:24 AM i want to build a pc for mining purpose but with psu 450, its ok if it would only run 1 vga cause im a gamer too i can use it for playing, anyone have recomendation of the full build? im thinking about using r9nano but im not sure about the build and if it could run or if its going to be effective with the psu, im a tech noob afterall, thanks in advance for any answer Case profit will be low, It will gives you basic mining understanding only, but you can do it!
