Hey all, I am wanting to build a gpu mining rig with an old pc I'm going to pick up. It's more for a little project and maybe some profitability down the road...one issue,

I don't really know what video card, mother board, power box ect.. I would need. Help me out?!

As well, what would be a good coin to mine? I was thinking ethereum while it's on pow and it would be cool to download te block chain but what else is there to look in to? I'm going to be doing my research but welcome all and any advise!!

From the cheapest...

- If you want to go super cheap use what you already have. You can mine with any 64 bit CPU.

- If the PC already has a GPU you may be able to use it.

- You can buy a GPU that fits the existing power supply

- buy a new GPU and PSU to match it

etc
