Best Rig for a Newbie Miner Like Me!!!

[PsylockReborn]

Hello guys! I'm a newbie in crypto world and I'm planning to mine altcoins. I'd like to know what rig is best for me as a newbie in mining. I wanna learn new things specially mining crypto at home. Hope that you guys can help me or give me specs on what rig to use. I was planning to make a mining rig that's worth $2k. Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Assuming you're a technical guy who knows how to build/assemble at least a home Computer desktop, I will recommend GPU mining for you. build a rig with decent motherboards with more PCI-e slots and high rated PSU, and a premium GPU cards, AMD Rx 570,580 or vegas series and NVIDIA Gtx 1060,1070,1080 series. you should now at least know how far the 2k$ could go, for profitability on this day. check online calculators such as below.

nvidia rig is easier for start, because u dont need to mod bios of the cards
would start with 1060.

a good modded/configured amd rig is alot more work, especially if you are complete noob.
if u go for amd buy rx 580 8gb or vega
you dont need 8gb vram now for some algos, but who knows what will be in future

amd is better for some algos, nvidia better for other algos...best thing is to have both
