New mining rig - config help

[radu91]

Hey guys, I am in the order process for the following:

MB: biostar TB250 - BTC
GPU: 6 x Asus AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5
Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance LP 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin
PS: CORSAIR AXi Series AX1200i Digital 1200W
CPU: Not decided yet, waiting for some suggestions.
SSD: Not decided yet.


This is my first rig, I was always interested about mining but never had the cash for it. I would like to know what you guys think of this and I would appreciate any advice you may have.

Thank you.

CPU: G4400 Skylake
SSD: any would do. I use kingston UV400 120gb

The Skylake G3900/3920 will work, or the G4400, whichever is cheaper. You can use any SSD, although I would not go much below 120 GB since you will need a large page file set as well as space to store blockchains and wallets etc.

I am still between these two. Same RX580 chipset

ASUS ->>>>   1380 MHz boost clock (OC Mode) for 7% performance improvement over reference

or XFX ->>>> With a 1430MHz clock speed to help meet the needs of demanding games.


that difference in MHz will have a noticeable effect?

For mining you will actually lower the core clocks and overclock the memory for the best performance on Ethereum and similar coins. The GPU with the best cooler is the one I would pick if prices were equal.
