Title: Newbie to mining, need expert inputs.
Post by: jamesanity06 on June 22, 2017, 02:23:58 AM
Hello everyone, and good day, as stated on the title, I am quite new to this mining thing and I haven't even started doing this, I wan to ask for some advice from veterans and some inputs as well, I am thinking of mining ether, and I am not quite sure how to start this, I am currently running on:

mobo:Intel DH55PJ
CPU:Intel I7 860 2.93Ghz
GPU:(I am thinking of upgrading to Rx480 for the sole purpose of mining)
PSU:600w generic PSU

I am wondering if it would be profitable mining ether on one GPU only, I'm not aiming for huge profit atm, just enough to earn some cash to upgrade to more GPUs, somewhere around 4-6 GPUs maybe. Any suggestions and encouragement would be very much appreciated. If possible can someone give me figures like how much hashrate could a single RX480 could provide and the power rating as well so I can compute these figures on a profitability calculator. Thanks again in advance, and please be gentle with me, if I ever posted on the wrong section kindly move my post on the correct section, thanks again folks!

Profitability calculators only predict the past.  They do not in any way predict future returns.

Do your own research before asking others to do it for you.
