Re: [help] looking for advice on building my new rig

i usually go with a open frame(by the look of that site it seems that you want a standard gaming rig to mine..), h81 pro btc, g1840, 8GB ddr3 sniper, 120GB ssd, rm1000i and 6 x risers

then you simply choose nvidia or amd

Easy enough, and a good list. When that stuff arrives though, I need (I assume Linux) operating system on it, is there a good guide on how to get that set up and running?

EDIT: Also, with the EVGA 1300W, it has 6 8 pin slots. How do you power 6 cards if they need 2 connections each? Or do most cards just have 1 8 pin connector?

yeah that issue is a pain in the ass, in fact recently i only choose gpu that have only 1 8 pin or 6 pin, to avoid buying bmore cable, since no psu out there come with 6 x 6+8pin or six 2x8pin

Yea that seems easier, any advice on how to get an operating system set up?

was easy with the possibility to upgrade from previous windows to win 10, but now no more because the free win 10 upgrade ended, so i have my torrent copy of win 7 or win 10 for that, just use a bootable usb, you can make it bootable with rufus

if you mean ubuntu i'm not too familiar with it, i prefer to use linx on a VM
