Title: £1000 to spend on a mining rig Post by: montyrule on December 17, 2017, 07:04:45 PM I have £1000 +/- 10% that I would like to spend on preferably a mining rig with GPUs (although i'm not put off by ASICs). My initial plan would be to mine etheruem (although I am aware it is going to be fully POS soon). I am new to this so would appreciate any suggestions. I have put together a basic rig (https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/W6rwGf). All I would need is a CPU/mobo combo.
Also, would I need a mobo that supports 4-way crossfire or just one with 4 PCIe slots? If I'm being dense please tell me!

Msi z270 Mobo and 4gb ddr4 ram. Cpu g3930 Celeron. Riser with self power. A hard drive.

Try to obtain a "miner" mobo like Asrock H81 pro BTC or Biostar TB85 / TB250. there are also new generation boards like Asus b250 mining expert. beware these usually have p1150 sockets so CPUs are a bit rare nowadays. You are going to need "PCI-Express risers" to connect your GPUs to PCI-express X1 slots on the mobo. |
