And its finally back to the old levels, ETH is highly profitable and ROI for these mining Rig's ( without factoring in resale value) is down to 8 and getting better by the day ...

Hi ,

I am interested in building my own rig . I have a hard time finding the GPU riser cable and I am not sure about the Asrock motherboard as well . It's not easily available , I have to do a lot of research on that though .

I was thinking of building with 2 perspective mining / gaming . So , I come to an conclusion . I don't know whether I am doing it right or wrong please suggest .

Motherboard - Gigabyte ZOC force
RAM - 32 GB
4 Graphic card - Sapphire RX 480 8 GB ( I am using 4 cards because It allow me to use that " no's " only )
CPU - i7 6850 k
psu - 1200 i
ssd - 500 GB

the cost have gone beyond the normal and with corsair cabinet and I don't know if i am able to get ROI on this or not . My main motive is to mine altcoins no specifics but i am not interested in ether as well ( because of hard fork and . I find zcash more interesting

What kind of motherboard you are using and what do you suggest on my setup

If you are purchasing a Gaming PC, then getting components that can be used for Altcoin mining is a good idea. But if your primary objective is to mine altcoins, and play some games then this configuration is WAAAAAY too high end. You could get a 7 card mining rig for the same price, which would be pretty capable in gaming as well. You do not need an i7 CPU, and the RX470 4GB is 95% the performance of the RX480 8GB for 70% of the price so get those instead.
Also you would need a full tower cabinet from a reputed brand like corsair as you mentioned, which has atleast 8 pci slot room.
ROI scales with the number of graphics cards that you have, so spending on other components for mining is a bad idea. Also, you can get Risers on amazon and ebay. i buy in bulk so I import from aliexpress.
Like I mentioned, if you are in Bangalore, you can get a mining setup from me, prebuilt.
If you are not in Bangalore, I am working on Enclosures for 5-7 card setups which are about the size of a PC Cabinet, and I will be able to ship systems in it. I will be posting pictures of that enclosure soon.
