...This is how I currently sit...

Nice rig, man!!!
I dream about such amount of GPU's))
Just started mining 24 hours ago with my 1070 and making plans for future to buy 1 more 1070 and 6 rx470. But i have a problem - here in my country prices are very high and salaries are very low)) But i will figure out how to solve this i think!

TY for shareing your story, will keep an eye on this post)
Have a nice day, guys!

Thanks for the kind reply. You can always start with cheaper 2nd hand gear that ROI's fast, sell off the gear and buy better stuff with the profit you made + the resale value of the 2nd hand gear! If you don't have the cash on hand just build op slowly. You'll get there!

Anyway, as I mentioned in my opening post, my rig 1 used to be a gaming PC. This is the initial hardware:

MOBO: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO Carbon
RAM: HyperX 16 GB DDR4-2666 Kit
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4000 1151 BOX
GPU: EVGA8GB D5X GTX 1080 Founders Edition
PSU: Corsair AX860

Above has been working fine for days along with 3x RX 480 running at stock settings. Since I no longer game the CPU is massive overkill so I traded it for a EVGA 1600w PSU. Yesterday my Intel Celeron G3900 came in and as usual I had it swapped in minutes. But the rig is very unstable now. With all 4 GPU's connected it would hard reset within a minute of starting with dual mining. With 3 GPU's connected all lasts longer but it still crashes way too often. The idea was to swap to a celeron because it uses less power and I would make profit getting the PSU out of it, but what is happening now makes no sense to me. Anyone has any clue how that is remotely possible?
