Hi,

I'm currently deciding if I should buy a rig or just invest my money into coins. I'd love to build a rig just for fun so I tend to do that.

My question is if you would go AMD or NVIDIA at this point? Everything is very expensive, but I could get 4x RX470 and 2 RX 480 for $1800 which is not that bad for Europe I guess.
These:
2x Sapphire RX 470 8GB Nitro+
2x Sapphire RX 470 8GB Nitro
2x MSI RX 480 8GB Gaming X

The NVIDIA cards are way more expensive and don't get a huge amount of more hashrate. But also I heared of the h/s drop of about 35% by DAG 160-180. Is that correct and would you therefore go for NVIDIA?

Would you consider spending more on 1080tis and going for just 3 cards?

Thank in advance
