This is just my opinion,

gpu - 5 gtx 1050ti 4gb @ 150$ each = 750$
cpu - cheap celeron 1151 @ 45$
mobo - asrock h11 pro btc 13 socket @140$ ( for future expansion)
psu - seasonic 750w gold modular @ 90$
casing - build your own

All in all its 1025$ build excluding risers, monitors and other peripherals

Expected daily profit of 5$ mining zencash (computation from whattomine.com)

ROI is about 8 to 9 months

Hope this may help.



All how on here, besides GPU  5x Radeon RX560 card, for mining monero aprox he gives 2.5khs.
Price of monero wiil grow for last days and for the moment this give 6.25$

for that budget you'll need to go cheap on everything in order to buy as many GPUs as possible. You could probably be around 300$ for everything but the GPU, leaving 700$ for GPU. For that price you get 3x GTX 1060 with a 24MH/s hashrate, you would be around 4-5$/day with current price.

13 GPU Nvidia Rig running under Ubuntu 16 (eth hash rate: 300+Mh/s @ 1000W for whole rig): 3x EVGA GTX 1060 3Gb (24MH/s @ 65W) + 6x MSI Armor GTX 1060 3Gb (24MH/s @ 70W) + 1x MSI GTX 1060 (24Mh/s @ 65W) + 3x Zotac GTX 1060 (24MH/s @ 65 W). PSU 2400W, Asrock ASRock H110 Pro BTC+, cheap Chinese risers, Kingston SSD 120Gb, 8Gb memory. Selling some of my GPUs (around 200€, still under warranty), if you're interested, contact me in private.

Why buy such an old GPU? VEGA one will give approximately the same income. But this GPU will be the future. In the next year will increase production capacity and an old GPU you can throw in the trash. VEGA will work a very long time. It seems to me that my variant is more promising and cheaper.

VEGA is indeed newer (and probably better in some way) but it's much more expensive and consumes more power. Don't count too much on resell value, all GPU cards currently used for mining will flood the market at some point (if they are not broken before). There are way too many cards on the market because of mining, the gamer market is not big enough to swallow the second hand cards that will be in circulation in the coming months/years. If you mine, you need to accept the risk of not being able to sell your GPU (or for a very low price).

Your best bet would be 1060 6GB cards second hand. Start small with a 750W 80+ Gold PSU (can go up to 5 cards) and grow from there.

i'd say today the situation have changed, and now I'd go for vega rig

- motherboard any B250 with 6 PCI-E slots
- CPU  -Celeron 1151 socket
- RAM any DDR4 4GB
- any cheap HDD
- PSU x 750W gold.
- and 6 GPU vega 56

You could get a GTX 1060 6gb for around $214 to $280 right now so you can get around 4 GPUs for $1000.

Check prices here: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=gtx+1060&N=-1&isNodeId=1
And then PSU, motherboard, RAM, processor, raisers, SSD. So you will get only 2 GPUs with this budget Smiley
