I'm being offered a mining rig with these specs, my intention is to either mine ETH or ZEC, locally energy cost is below USD 0.06, and the seller is telling I'd be able to get 185 Mh/s on ETH and 1850 Sol/s on ZEc at 1000 watts, cost is USD 4,400.
*Intel Core i3 7100 *8 GB of RAM *6 x GPUs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB *128GB solid state drive *Custom frame *Energy source 1200W 80 Plus Gold
My question, will I get those hashrates, is it a worthy investment
Thanks All

$4400 is very high for this config. Don't fall on that

I just ordered the parts to build two very similar rigs except with 1070's for 3k each. That is way too much with 1060's. The GPUs are the most expensive part and 1060's can be had for less than $300 while the 1070's are nearly $500. You could build the same thing they are selling for for around $2200.

6 GTX 1060 can't do 185 mh/s on ETH. Not even close. 1850 sol/s is plausible. See in your country how much this hardware costs but U$ 4.400 is too high even if you're in a African country in times of war.

With that config I would get 2 more cards to make 8 gpu's and get two 750w PSUs instead of the 1200. And as the other have said, price is too high.

You won't see 31 Mh/sec on ETH with those cards. Might see 140-160 total with tweeking if you push them hard enough. ZEC numbers sound about right per posted hashrates I've seen on those cards. The i3 is a waste in a pure mining rig. Lower-cost G-series Pentium would be plenty. I wouldn't pay more than $2500 for this rig AT MOST, $4000+ is a ripoff.

I have yet to see a 1060 6GB hit 26.66 MH/s. Best case scenario is 144 Mh/s. 185 Mh/s is definitely more for 1070s in which case the rig might have been worth it (but im eager to see what Vega 56 will bring in terms of $/watt/Mh/s

shop around and find the parts at best prices first! once all assembled and running then it would certainly be a help for those who use it to go to http://whattomine.com/coins

See in your country how much this hardware costs but U$ 4.400 is too high even if you're in a African country in times of war. This is true, 1060 should get around 18mh/s at stock clock, so 6x will be only 108mh/s, 185mh/s is impossible even with overclocking. Whereas, you can get more than 1850sol/s if you overclock them. Typically 300sol/s per card at stock clock.

Thank all, great response this is what I love so much about this community, the desire to help one another.
I'm glad I didn't buy it, I'm actually located in Colombia and it's kind of hard to find the other components mentioned throughout the responses, and I've been mostly into trading so don't know much about the required specs to mine efficiently a certain coin. I'll take a look at the different suggestions on the board.
By the way don't know If I should ask this elsewhere, but if you guys could suggest other set ups to mine aside from the ones already mentioned on the board, I'd be really grateful
Thanks again!

I would recommend using cloud mining or some variant of it if you really wish to mine. Considering electricity cost, its unprofitable to mine in most places in the world.
