Hi everyone,

I'm new on this forum (and new to cryptos). I'm gonna buy some hardware tomorrow to start mining, I don't want do build a rig but just have 1 (or maybe later 2) GPU in my computer. I've done some research on what hardware to buy, so far I think I will buy

PSU:

Corsair RMi Series RM750i (111)

One of those GPU's:

MSI RX 470 GAMING X 4G (173)
MSI RX 480 GAMING X 4G (187)
MSI RX 470 GAMING X 8G (187)
MSI RX 480 GAMING X 8G (221)

As for the GPU I can't decide yet (and I know there are many topics about the rx 470 vs rx 480 with the 480 havin a 10% higher hash rate), but my main question here is: would it be a shame to still buy a card with 4GB of RAM? Right now 4 GB seems to be fine for mining (all / most) of the altcoins, but what's the chance that in the near future 4 GB will not be sufficient anymore and the card would be useless? Or will 4 GB remain sufficient for a long time?

Any advice welcome

This topic was discussed alot before , the 4gb cards will be sufficient for not a long time also the resell will be low, if you are building now go for the best resell gpus which are in my opinion the 8gb , 470 is doing good , but you may wait for the 570 for best resell it will be out to the markets in couple of days or so , there is ppl already get it .
