Hi Guys,
I'm just about to order parts for my very first mining rig. Could you take a look at hardware listed below and let me know if you would change anything? I'm starting with 3 graphic cards, but the goal is to have 6 within two-three months.

Hard Drive: SSD Kingston 120GB
Memory: Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3 1600MHz 4GB
Processor: Intel Celeron G1840 2,8 GHz
Motherboard: AsRock H81 PRO BTC R 2.0
Risers: 3x PCI-E 16x USB SATA ver 007
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000W G2 modular Gold
GPU: 3x RX 570 NITRO+ 8GB

I'm thinking about mining Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin or ZCash depends on profitability.
Thanks in advance!

Why the SSD? Any old hard drive will do and likely save you a few $$$.

ssd are very cheap nowadays, and are good whenyou need to sync many coin to dual mine with your rig

Let's put aside the SSD topic.

It's really hard to get the 580 or even 480/470 card in any of the european stores. Could you recommend any other GPU with quite good ROI? I have about 800$ to spent on GPU's alone and want to get from them as much power as possible with best Watt ratio. Any ideas? Don't want to wait couple weeks/months for 580/480/470 to appear again in stores.
