Hello folks,
I'm currently selecting parts for my first mining rig and I would appreciate any assistance in this endeavor as I've not built a computer since 2004. This will just be a fun project for me to work on with money that would otherwise likely be gambled away at a casino. I've been searching and reading the forums here in addition to checking out youtube tutorials on building rigs but now I'm ready to get something of my own going. I'm constantly reading up on this stuff trying to get up to speed. I would like to start out focusing more on Monero and then branch out to other things once I get a bit more comfortable.
MAJOR work in progress list:
7x MSI Radeon RX 580 Gaming X 8GB (I have these already, impulse buy on a good deal)
1x ASUS B250 MINING EXPERT LGA 1151 Intel Motherboard
This isn't much of a list yet but that's why I'm here. As for the CPU, RAM, and PSU I'm totally undecided. I've seen a lot of recommendations to just go with the cheapest CPU that will fit the socket and something similar for the RAM. On this particular motherboard I didn't think I'd need more than a single beefy power supply, but again I'm uncertain since I've yet to even pick out all the parts. Since I already purchased the cards I'm hoping to get some insight on how to best build around them.
