My experience:
For XMR cpu mining is far and away more profitable in large part due to stability. GPU mining had the benefit of flexibility in that you can switch coins; however, CPU mining has the stability rivaling an ASICS. My 32 cpu opteron c7000 blade chassis has been running 24/7 under max load since August 2016. Zero crashes. My GPU rigs I restart weekly.

Hi,
I'm new to mining. Can you please help me setup mining rig?
I've bought HP DX 2400MT with some Core 2 DUO CPU... When it arrive I will check it, I want 45nm CPU for better cooling.
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01399523
Will the PSU be enough? Any advices for me?
Is USB 3.0 power riser good or should I use ribbon?
I'm mining with 860m on my laptop now on Minergate XMR+FCN and also with this rig I want too, any advices?
Thank you for any help

- CPU: 45nm Core 2 DUO or maybe QUAD
- RAM: It has 4GB, do I need more?
- HDD: 320GB
- GPU: I'm trying to buy HD 7850, R9 270x and cheap 7770 for start.
My plan is to change them after, to at least 3x 7850 or better. - PSU: It has 300w, but I want buy new Zalman ZM700-LX
Is this enough for 3x 7850 or 3x R9 270x? - Cooling: I have some 12cm Arctic fans.
Also I don't know what is CPU cooler, so I will buy some old heatsink if it's not good.
I'm trying to buy some OC cards with better cooling than reference, I will only put some Arctic MX2 on it, maybe MX4 for the more powerful ones. - OS: It has Win 7 64bit, is it good or update to Win 10?
- Mining SW: Claymore? I'm using now XMR Stak NVIDIA there is also AMD version, will try anyway.
