well i plan to build a 6x (or 7x gpu if possible - but i think its not with nvidia?) mining rig with gtx 1080 ti cards. if you can recommend me a motherboard, psu and cpu for it, it would be awesome.

thanks in advance

These motherboards go out of stock pretty quickly, so grab one now if you're sure you want to build a rig.

If you want to do 6 GTX 1080 Ti with a single PSU you need this or something with the same specs and connectors.

Any socket 1150 Intel CPU will work for mining, even the cheapest Celeron. If you want to use the rig for office work, web browsing, streaming video/music while it mines then I suggest an i3 from that generation.

Would the (240v)2400w delta power supply from Paralellminer be a cheaper alternative to the 1600w EVGA for a 6 card 1080ti setup??
