Title: new mining rig *for a beginner*
Post by: Minefield4 on January 24, 2014, 05:26:08 AM
hi, i am currently thinking of getting this setup, it seems like the most bang for my buck.  But any advice/feedback is appreciated.

(I am new to altmining* i got advised to use this kind of card since it gives 600 stock hash, at the cost of 200 WAT
which is very efficient considering the card price, overclocking the card to 250 WAT supposedly makes it do 720 hash, which isnt that efficient but 6 cards is the max anyway so this powersuplly should be plenty)
But because i am new to this (and pc building in general.) i rather ask for a few more opinions/advice.



power supply: LEPA G Series G1600-MA-EU
mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
(cheap) processor AMD Sempron 145 - 2.8 GHz
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 8 GB : 2 x 4 GB - DIMM 240-pins - DDR3 - 1600 MHz / PC3-12800 - CL11 - 1.5 V - n
GPUx5(or six): Sapphire HD7950 Dual X
SanDisk Cruzer Blade - USB-flashstation 64 GB - USB 2.0

thanks for reading.
