good advice, thx everyone! Smiley

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 .

Thanks for the useful info about the 570 which will be released indeed one of these days.  I think I won't wait for them, they'll probably be more expensive and there does not seem to have changed a lot that would give a spectacular performance gain.


as to the op are you in the uk?

I know this may sound  off the wall.
 but  go with the nvidia   1070, 1080 or 1080 ti  and mine ZEC coin.
I would even say  if they are too pricey get a nvidia 1060 with 6gb ram
this is decent  for a low end nvidia

mine zec  with them.

Thanks for pointing me out these cards. I checked the prices but they are all more expensive (except  the 1060 6GB ).  To be honest, through what I've been reading about mining, it appeared to me that people were always advising AMD cards to go for if you wanted to mine...  For now, I think my preference would be to go for the RX470 8GB.
