Before i start buying parts, wanted to see if anyone has done this and how they've gotten on?

Purely a budget/hobby/1st rig project. Im fully aware im not gonna be pulling in £20/day with it.

Aiming for:

Z270 mobo - 3 cards in x16 and 3 on risers (trio rig style)
Celeron cpu
4gb
nvOC running from USB stick
1 750w or 850w PSU could be fine for 6 75w 1050Ti cards?

I will be aiming to mine 100% Equihash coins.

The 1050 Ti will not return much but it's easy to set up and stays very cool. I advice you to go for 850W PSU and also think about the 1060. You can only buy 3-4 first and extend to 6 later on. If you fill the rig with 1050 Ti and you want to add a card later on you will need to sell some of the cards probably with a small lose.
