you should have purchased the 1080 ti i linked and built a 1 card rig to start that can expand to more cards.
but it is your money. there are quite a few ways to go.
but that 1080 ti will be worth close to its for sale price for quite a while.
I just bought the 1080 ti you recommended
Now I'm thinking what I want to do essentially is start off with that card and build a pc that can be used for programming work (data mining and machine learning) as well as light gaming. AS WELL AS be able to be an entry point into mining.
Basically, I'm thinking I'll want to get a few of those new AMDs as well to allow me to do ETH mining.
I'd also want 64GB of RAM and an SSD in the 500 GB range.
Would it be ok to cram all of that in one giant case? Or would it be better to have a separate setups for the personal pc vs the mining rig.
Right now I am just on a laptop.
What would you guys recommend for these uses?
Thank you for all the help so far everyone
In theory that card should earn 7 dollars a day with not counting power costs.
Say 1 for power
6 a day profit. 117 days it paid off.
You have a lot to do with the pc
I have used a few z270 boards
And a decent i5 7500 CPU
Works well. Closed cases get hot you need good fans.
It is late I am going to crash. I will post info tomorrow
