I am completely in the dark when it comes to mining and am quite new to cryptocurrencies in general. But was wondering if it is possible to still make some money on my PC.

I believe mining mostly uses GPU, and if so, would a radeon R9 390X be sufficient to make it worth the effort?

(P.S. I have it overclocked and watercooled as well if that would make a difference) and im paying just under 12 cents/Kwh.

The R9 390x is a beast on the Zcash algo. Download claymores miner from this forum and mine away. Do not forget to underclock and undervolt your card because it will be running 24/7 and power efficiency matters (you dont need the 390X overclocked, even for gaming, that is serious overkill).

Thanks )

I would gladly start mining once I get back home(am overseas), but I barely understand any of the mining Jargon.... you have any links that explains it for newbs or any guidelines I can follow? and thanks again
