if your consideration is live times, you should choose the newest card such as 1080ti or Vega, but previous gen such as rx 400/500 series, 1070 can be on your alternative list. 1 more important is, you need a card that has more than 4 GB vram.

Hi newbie to (in mining, not crypto)

I am looking to buy a new gaming pc and do not care about electricity cost. Wanna learn more about mining and crypto.

I have searched the net but couldn't quite find what I was looking for... I am ready to do my homework and research

but I ask you, do you have good links/sources where I can read about mining equipment for home users.

Don´t wanna build big rig, just hobby mine on gaming PC. I was thinking of Monero or other Altcoin, no coins with ASIC activated.
Red that the 1080Ti is quite good, but that is just one part of the PC...
you say 8GBvRam good, any advice on CPU, PCI number, hard disk etc

Any advice?? Thanks

AMD 12x3.5GHz with water cooling (is this good ??), 64GB DDR4-3000, ASUS GeForce GTX 1080Ti 11GB GDDR5X, 500GB M.2 SSD + 2TB HDD, ASUS Zenith X399 (USB3.1, Sound, Intel LAN) Windows 10
cost 5000USD

Or is this over the top?
