Hello to all that will help me with my questions (and sorry to all for my bad english)
I come from Slovenia Smiley

So, I'm new to the cryptocurrency game and i wanted to start mining some ethereum. The problem is - I'm a total noob at everything. I do know that i need 6 graphic cards (gpu mining?) and a procesor Tongue and some other stuff.
Then i need to connect to some pool - how?
I need also a wallet. Then im interested when i will mine etherium, how will i get etherium on my wallet with mining.
I have a budget around 4k €.
And I pay more than $0.08/kwh for electricity (that have something to do with the graphic card consumption?)

So if anyone can explain the things to me please i will be very thankful (what Computer Components do i need(which are the best), how to set up everything...

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Oh boy, go easy on him everyone.

@SLOguy, first see if you can even purchase 6 GPUs from anywhere. Most people are having a very hard time finding them now. Then spend sometime reading the many posts about how to get started mining.

First of all there are many components that are needed to complete a mining rig, first of all you need 6 GPUs (be sure to buy all the same not like me ordering different GPUs)

Then a powerful PSU, I bought Corsair HX1200i 1200W, a motherboard, cpu, ram, SSD, and important are the USB rizers (I bought 15€ each, you need 6)

Depending on your environment you may need to manage the heat, and try to build yourself the "case" to put the rig and have room for fresh air.

I don't think you are ready to build a mining rig.

You need to be proficient at trouble shooting computers, you WILL run into issues at some point.

It also sounds like you have never used crypto before, only want to get into it because you heard of free money.

You need to do your share of research to understand all aspects before trying to dive in.

Cheers.

I agree 100% do your research yourself it boils my blood to seem noobs coming in forums everyday and just asking an easy blue print to make money and mine.

Its not easy.

The only thing that calms me down is I was one of the noobs years years ago... possibly 2012-13 and we all had to start somewhere... so welcome. Read a lot don't expect to get easy answers... trial and error. do a lot of research yourself. It will help you in long run.

2x PSU? Oh boy. Not saying it won't work, but I hope you know how to deal with problems that are unique to double PSU Grin

Make sure you ground the PSU's together with an ATX connector or a Add2PSU. You will need a dedicated molex connector for the ADD2PSU.
