Hey everybody,

Mobo: MSI Z170A GAMING M5 Intel Z170 Soket 1151 DDR4 3600MHz(O.C.) USB 3.1 > $180
CPU: Intel Skylake Pentium G4400 3.3GHz 3Mb Cache LGA1151 > $70
Graphics Card: 6xSapphire Nitro+ RX 480 > $2100
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 4GB 2666MHz DDR4 Ram (HX426C15FB/4) > $45
SSD: Kingston SSDNow 60GB 550MB-520MB/s mSATA SSD (SMS200S3/60G) > $53
PSU: EVGA 1200W P2 > $305

Total cost: $3000 with shipping, risers and rig setup etc..(I live in Europe)

Is it a good setup?

I'm using Skylake CPU because it's the best way to work 6-7 card on this Mobo.

C'mon yall im about to order but I wanna hear yall comment on this setup.

[gondel]

How much you are going to pay for it?

How much you are going to pay for it?

About $3k with risers and everything.

I had the msi krait z170 and couldn't get more than 4 gpus to work. (there was 3 pcie x16 and 4 x1 slots)
the problem was the pcie lanes, the way the chipset works. not sure if your model will be able to accomodate

i got lucky and sold the motherboard for the same price of a z270 mb, hopefully i'll be able to get 6 gpus running easily.

I can't find any asrock so for now, I have to use this motherboard. Plus, it seems like many people having the 4 gpu problem and everyone is telling the problem is the CPU. Kabylake can run only 4 gpu. Skylake cpu can run up to 7. I don't want to run 7, I will get six cards though.

the real problem is the amount of pcie lanes.
you should do a bit of research about that subject, you would understand how it works a bit better

z270 has 4 more pcie lanes from the chipset than z170.

I'm using Skylake CPU because it's the best way to work 6-7 card on this Mobo.

Here's what I would do ( since you're from Europe ):

In 10 days there will be Asrock H81 BTC R2.0 available on Caseking.
That is gonna save you about 100eur if you combine it with a G1840 processor, even more with cheaper 1600Mhz ddr3 memory.  
Also I would replace the PSU with a EVGA G2 1300W, its almost Platinum efficiency and costs 70eur less and you will have more head room if u decide to dual mine, those 480 can eat quite a lot.

The cards are personal preference like the rest, i also have Nitro+ 480 8GB's, but if i knew then what i know now, i would go for cheaper ones like rx 470/570 nitro+ instead ( got RX 570 Nitro+ already ordered ).
You can ROI a lot faster with cheaper cards, and if you plan to have them for 1,5 or 2 years till the end of warranty, the resale value is not worth buying the expensive ones because in 2 years there will be a small difference in price between say 570 and 580.

Its up to you, but i would bring a rig like that down to 2100-2200$ or even less and roi a lot faster  
btw, difference between rx 570 nitro+ and rx 480 nitro+ in hashing is really small, go check some of the benchmarks on the forum, rx 570 nitro+ 4GB can do well over 29Mh/s.

Bro, top notch comment right there. Thanks for info. I will follow your advice!

[evakka]

I would also suggest a 1300w PSU or even higher

I would go for the new 5xx for best resell value incase things go bad and you want to minimize your loss , also they are cheap you can buy rx570 instead of 480 , also a higher psu will be good....there is also a way better than building a 6 gpu rig you can build 2 rigs 3gpus each mounted directly to the board it's alot better i am now building all my new rigs this way better stability,cooling,no problems and also better in hashrate don't know why....

You can save more by changing your PSU. 1200W is way too much, a 1000W one will handle it all without any problem. Just take a good gold certified one. You should save 150$ this way.

Also, I do not know from which country in Europe you are from, but here, for the price of your 60 Gb SSD you can have a 120 Gb one.

I tried to find gold rated Evga PSU but no chance. I'm having trouble to find one in Europe so I just ordered one 1200w P2.

But these are all good experiences. I will try to keep things cheaper for my second rig.

------Edit------

Let me post the prices of the setup;

Mobo: ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 > €126
CPU: Intel Celeron G1840 > €31
Graphics Card: 6xSapphire Nitro+ RX 480 > €1658(€276 for each) > Normal card price is about €220. Due import tax, price is higher than usual.
RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR3 1600MHz > €26
SSD: Kingston SSDNow 120GB > €76
PSU: EVGA 1200W P2 > €370

6 Riser(+12 more for my future rigs); $156

Plus, some cables and sh!t > €57

All Total; €2500

So, yeah I managed to save €500. Thanks to everyone who helped me

" 200-series chipsets mobos have more downstream (general purpose) PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes. The chipsets have 14 downstream PCIe lanes; compared to 10 on the 100-series chipsets. The LGA1151 processor has 16 PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes it sets aside for graphics, and four lanes that go to the chipset as physical layer of the DMI 3.0 chipset bus.This means motherboard designers can cram in additional bandwidth-heavy onboard devices such as Thunderbolt and USB 3.1 controllers; additional M.2 slots, or just more PCIe slots with greater than x1 bandwidth. This takes the platform's total PCIe lane budget to 30, compared to 26 on the 100-series chipset motherboards. "

your rig is too expensive for being only amd rig, amd rig are bought for $1600 or less now, why $3k?. that motherboard is too expensive, newegg is now shipping again the h81 pro btc rev 2.0, better to buy it there, and you can also cut something on the psu, the evga 1300 cost way less and has more power, being gold instead of platinum don't change much

[Pennywis3]

You can't order from Newegg in Europe, because you pay tax & customs, u will pay about 280$ for a 200$ item.

Best bet in europe is Mindfactory and Caseking, sometimes Computer Universe.

if you are planing to mine ETH OR ZEC mainly panda miner is a cost effective miner with custom psu. you have to spend some time but its worth it ..al in a box!!!
