Title: Noob buying his 1st GPU Rig
Post by: Jimmygrazz on December 26, 2017, 07:29:17 PM
Hello all!

Been lurking for quite sometime and I have decided to take the plunge!  Would love opinions on this potential rig...

GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3 LGA1151 Intel Z270 2-Way Crossfire ATX DDR4 Motherboard

(3) EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition, 8GB GDDR5, EVGA OCX Scanner OC, White LED, DX12OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 08G-P4-5671-KR

Intel BX80677G3930 7th Gen Celeron Desktop Processors

CryptoCase Sentinel 6 GPU Mining Case - Stackable Open Air Rig Frame

EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2 80+ GOLD, 1000W Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready 10 Year Warranty Power Supply 120-G2-1000-XR

Ballistix Sport LT 4GB Single DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin - BLS4G4D240FSC (White)

Samsung 128GB SSD

I will be running windows 10 and the machine will run off of a Verizon Jetpak hotspot due to not having internet where the rig will be located.

Any opinions on the rig and what the best coin to mine is appreciated.

I believe your hardware bill of material is fine.

Of course, much depends on the price that you are asked to pay.

As a nice coin to mine, consider taking a look at mining Bitcore BTX, it is a very profitable coin using Nvidia.

Feel free to PM me if you need any further info on how to mine it as it would be a bit OT considering you are only asking for an opinion on the hardware of your rig.
