1  Bitcoin / Mining / Help a new miner choose which hardware to get on: May 11, 2011, 06:38:21 PM
I need you guy's opinion on a setup I'm building.

Basically I have 2 choices, I found (4) 6950 reference boards unlockable at a local shop for $300 each., or (4) 5850's for $180 each.

Using the wiki I see the 6950's should go 1.2Gh/s to 1.4Gh/s overclocked, and the 5850's should do 960 Gh/s to 1.3Gh/s overclocked.

This has me leaning on the 5850's since although its rare to find unlockable 6950's, they still aren't cheap enough.

Lastly, I did a little build up on newegg for a cheapie AMD sempron mobo, and a cheapie intel i3-2100T build.

The intel build is $1100 and the amd build is $740, is there any reason I shouldn't go with a couple MSI 870-G45's with sempron 140's over the intel build as ASUS P8P67 LE's with i3-2100T's?

So in summary, 5850's or 6950's, and amd or intel.

Thank you guys much!!
