Ok so pretty much as i had thought its recommended a desktop. Thanks for the help , i will be getting a desktop, but does it matter what type of desktop ? If so give suggestions.
Even with a desktop chances are you lose money. Add up electricity compared to alt coins you mine. Most are at a loss (unless very very low electricity).
I suggest looking into Asics if you want to mine. They just so efficient you cannot compete against them with standard gear anymore.
