Many thanks for replies, especially to @h311m4n for high effort explanation!

Now I see that radeon card is a "must have" for such a minig rig, and you all suggest radeons 470 or 480 but these cards are expensive... $200-250 for a card is out of my price range.

As I wrote in my first post I can risk (and probably loose Wink ) $200-250 in total.


So what do you think about buying radeon R9 270 2GB for the beginning (I found one for ~$50), and mine with this few weeks and buy RX 470 or 480 as a second card?


This is how I see my build:
  • $50 - PU Zalman ZM500-LX 500W 120mm
  • $50 - Asus H81M-Plus
  • $50 - R9 270 2GB
  • $50 - CPU Pentium G3260 3,3GHz LGA1150 (or Intel Celeron G1840 LGA1150)
  • $20 - 4GB RAM and HDD


What do you think about this build now?
