I am now confused about GPU mining. Can any pro explain me what is needed for GPU mining?
Which processor and what specifications are used for GPU mining?
I guess higher processor like i7 are not required?
Can any pro help in this plz?
Thanks.

The only real requirements are :
- an adequate Mobo (ie with enough Pcie lanes)
- a solid PSU (don't take a cheap one, if you do you will have more chances setting your house on fire/burning up your equipment than making ROI)
- GPUs : look for RX 470/480 or GTX 1070
- powered risers
- the rest : as cheap as you can get it (celeron CPU / 4gb ram / small SSD/HDD/USB stick)

A motherboard with 6 or more PCIE slot. 1200W power supply. Intel I3 or lower CPU.

How much will it mine and what hashrate will it give using these specifications?

Read this guide to get a better understanding of what hardware is involved before you start shopping for parts. Come back here and ask for more specific insight on hardware if you have more questions afterwards. ;)

For software I would go with the very easy to use program from NiceHash or the software from MinerGate. Either one makes it quite "newbie" friendly.

how many GPU are minimum required ?

thanks

There is no minimum needed, epscially since you will most likely mine on a pool.
It's just than 4 GPUs will mine ... 4 times as fast as a single GPU.
So most miners prefer to build up rig with 4 to 7 GPUs in order to cut costs (as Mobo, CPU, RAM, SSD, PSU will be shared).

First gpu and second many space.

I think the more GPU the better.

In gpu mining you just need a desktop pc with the minimum processor and 4 or 8gb ram , and maximum pcie slots in mobo , you can set 1 gpu to maximum your mobo carry , the more gpus you add the more profit also the more wattage you draw so you need bigger wattage psu , if you still can't get it then you need more search :).

Hii
At first you need to buy power supply, for example EVGA SuperNOVA 1200(w) P2, than you need motherboard to combine CPU's, you don't need great cpu, normal one will be good for you, maybe nearly 200$. Than you need RAM (8gb will be great), 1x to 16x Powered Riser Cables, cheap hdd, case for rigs, good cooler and of course great GPU's. Those things will be enough for mining with 6 GPU.
I can't blindly suggest you GPU because it depends on how much you can to invest on them.

@ OP

I run a small local Crypto Investment Group were a $1000 investment is returning 100% in about 3-4 Months right now which is my minimum investment amount. After you receive 100% Return I then keep 40% of the rig profits from there out meaning "If" things stay stable you would have 160% return in 6-8 Months (Beats all Bank Interest). Last year this time Return was closer to 6 Months for 100%.

I have core2quad with 4gb ram and i wish to buy a good graphics card for the CPU. can someone suggest me a good card which i buy in a cheap rate and that can work for me good. I have free electricity for 12 hours so i can use the same easily. suggest me a good mining pool too.

390 is good for ZEC mining.

that could be easier for newbies but less profit

Edit: also 14nm Intel CPUs are converting electricity into hash more efficiently that 470s on XMR for instance...

Yes the free electricity will available for long term. I have Intel R Core2Quad Q940 @2.66 (4CPUs), with 4gb ram.

I agree with that. The total hash will be much smaller.
