Hi there, im quite new to the mining thing, and i was wondering if anyone can help me.

I'm currently mining with cryptonight and daggerhashimoto algorithms through the nicehash miner. My setup is as follows:

PC 1
Intel Ci5 660(1st gen) Cryptonight
8GB DDR3
500 GB Samsung evo SSD
Radeon HD 5970 (2xHD5850 1GB chips) Cryptonight

PC 2
Intel Ci7 4770K (5th gen) Cryptonight
8GB DDR3 1600
500 GB Samsung evo SSD
Nvidia GTX 970 4GB Daggerhashimoto

What would be the best algorithms to run on these that would be most profitable, i am currently not paying rent or electricity so it does not matter to me how much power they draw.

Please assist!!!

I'd say your doing good with the hardware you have, especially for not paying electricity. You could try mining Zcash with the 970 GTX. Supposedly gets 300 H/s and would be more efficient than ETH.

The 970 using nicehash jumps between daggerhashimoto and equihash,

The real problem is my 5970, it is almost as good a card, but it earns half what the 970 does, and using equihash is out of the question because everytime i run the benchmark it just says terminated and i cant mine it.

I am pretty sure i can increase my earnings by using equihash because according to the website a normal 7870 has 70% more profit on equihash than the CryptoNight i am currently using.
