to keep things simple and with the least amount of possible problems that could arise, best to just separate the two different gpus into there own rigs, btw with your current hardware plan your currently wasting money, 120gb ssd is wasteful and hardly needed, Celeron cpus are crap no matter what anyone says, boot times to matter when it comes to a mining rig that takes forever to boot, that time all adds up to money lost at the end of the day, also its better to just get 1 psu rather than deal with the pains of having to deal with 2, plus you could get a server psu with breakout board and a 160w pico psu an STILL spend less than any atx psu you find

Hello, I think ppl in RX Vega threads said you have to get at least 16GB RAM in order to use full features the RX Vega has. And you shold look at the vega 56 too, if you can get them for good price, you can flash it with vega 64 bios and they are not much worse than vega 64. Look for VEGA threds.

TS would like to use Win10 OS. and 120Gb ssd is not so expensive comparing with 60 gb ssd. And if TS would like to install some altcoin wallets 120gb will help a lot

thanks for the info mates, never searched anything for server psu so no knowledge there. So maybe another 2x rigs one with vegas and maybe a cheapo one with 6-8x rx560 can find them fairly cheap
