Possible gaming/mining rig specs

[AleksandrVlad]

Hello all.

I suppose this is the correct forum to post this in seeing as it's speculation.

I've compiled, with most of the help done with a friend of mine, a possible mining/gaming rig.

Since I'm relatively new I thought I'd ask the bitcoin community at large if this is an alright rig for a first time miner?  Obviously I'm not going to get anywhere fast and this is my first rig.  My 22nd birthday is coming up and hopefully I'll obtain some of the funds required towards the purchase and assembly of this rig.  But what say you?  Is this a passable mining/gaming rig.

Thanks in advance.

With that nvidia card you will not get any decent mining speed. Try to Buy R9 280X, or R9 290X. Also what is your budget, seems to me that ssd hard drive would be better for gaming.

Looks like that GTX760 will run at about 175-185 khash/s. For the same price you should be able to get a 7950 which would give you 600-700 khash/s. Or you could get a 280X if you're willing to pay a bit extra (around 750 khash/s).

If you're asking the bitcoin community, you cannot meaningfully mine bitcoin with a regular PC and graphics card any more. Other posters here will probably recommend you mine an alternative coin if you want to mine something with your system.
