Hi everyone, I want to start mining with a low budget. My GPU options for the money are:

1- 1x Asus Radeon Rx 560 4gb Gddr5
2- 1x Sapphire Radeon Rx 460 4gb Gddr5
3- 1x Nvidia Geforce Gtx 1050ti Asus Strix Oc 4gb Gddr5
4- 1x Nvidia Evga Gtx 1050 Ti 4 Gb
5- 1x MSI Armor R9 380 2gb Gddr5

My processor is an AMD FX8350
4GB Ram

So which GPU card should I get? I plan to mine ETH or XMR.

Note that I will not be affected by electricity cost.

Thanks!

I would probably say start out using the 560 and then upgrade or add to your rig when you can.  Some of the other options could work but out of those choices that is the one that I would go with.

The 560 is a good option for ethereum. Nvidia, in general terms, is better for equihash algorithms. So thats things like zcash or zencash. Nvidia also tends to use less electric so keep that in mind.

If you go with the RX 560, be careful. AMD has lowered the performance specification on the RX 560, so make sure you get the cards with 1024 cores and not the new gimped RX 560's with only
 896.

To be patient. Wait for enough money to get RX580 or 1070.
