Okay, so I know I'm late to the game... I mined a little several years ago using my gaming rigs and finally decided to jump in and build a new 6 GPU mining rig.
I had a lot of trouble finding a step by step guide and spent more hours than I care to admit researching everything needed. So in the process, I decided to document all the steps required and I wanted to share them in case it can help someone else out who is new to mining as well.
I tried to make this guide as thorough as I can. I still have a few tweaks to make to it, but as it is, it should be able to walk anyone through the entire process. I've done a section on using ethOS mining ethereum as well as using Windows 10 mining ethereum. So far, I really like ccminer and will be adding sections on how to mine various altcoins as I switch over to a new coin.
Following this guide, you should be able to achieve 31+MH per card. I'm hashing 191+MH in total mining ethereum and now I'm mining DmD with the same hash rates; mining DmD until they go PoS next week.
When you get a chance, please take a peek at the guide and let me know what you think. Also, if there's anything you feel that should be added, please let me know.
Here's the link:

Thanks,
