Thanks for the advice everyone!
Do you recommend an AMD or Intel motherboard/CPU?
Also do you think it's a better idea to get a CPU/mobo with integrated graphics, or is it okay to use one of the mining GPUs for video? (this would be a dedicated mining rig... it would just be sitting there with a terminal running cgminer)
Ty again!
I've never used a mobo with integrated graphics for mining, but I have heard quite a few people say that can cause problems. I use one of the mining GPUs as video when I need it. There's no problem in doing so. That card may run just a few degrees hotter than the others on the rig I've noticed though.
I've used both AMD and Intel. Haven't had an issue with either, so not sure one is better than the other. It may just be whatever the best deal you can get is.
