I would like to get into mining so these specs are just what I will follow to get into it and start mining ZEC with.
But one question would be: Would I need more than just 1500 Watt ps if I wanted to put 6x1070 cards on one board? Don't they take more than 250 watts of power each? Just to be on the safe side to not be stingee if I want to overclock them for more hash power. Grin

if you want to overclock your card for mining to get better hashrate, its better if you learn how to undervolt your cards if you have to pay for eletricity

, if you dont have to pay for electricity , ignore my suggestion but you should consider all this :

For calculating your mining income , possible profitability you need to know a few things :

How much $ is your mining PC ?
What is the total power draw for your system at the wall ?
How much $/kwh you paying for electricity included tax and another fees ?
What is the max hashrate you can get from ur rig ?
What wallet / exchage you going to use (what % they charging you for exchange ) ?
What mining software are you going to use ? ( its free or have some % developer fee )
What pool are u going to use ? ( pool fee% )
What ROI (return of investment) do you prefer ...

what any of the calculators telling you today , that is just for today ... if the difficulty going higher , your ROI can be doubled easy and ur mined coin going to be less ....
when you have all this information , you can use any mining calculator
there is a few example's :

for zcash:

for xmr

Electricity costs wont be considered a problem in the area I live in. Wink

So give me an alternative scenario for the maximum hash rate with overclocking these cards.
