@Everyone

May I ask with my budget of $6500-$8000 (A half is profit from a bitcoin that I flipped 3 days ago). Which GPUs should I buy that will be good next 4-6 months? ( I can't expect to see further as coin market is going insane now)

E.g:

- RX 580 or GTX 1070 or GTX 1060 ?
- Asus 19 GPU or 13 GPU Asrock?
- 4gb or 8gb dual channel?
- Which Riser cards brand is good and reliable?
- Celeron CPU or an I5? I am a anti-Celeron.


Best,

Rothco.



My personal opinion is the 1070s but thats because I am running them. Either motherboard will work fine go with whatever is cheaper.  I have the Asus B250 but got it when it was available and didnt pay a ton for it and works fine.  Dont pay up for an i5. I did and I regret it get the cheapest one you can. I would have gone Celeron if I did it over again. I dont use the CPU at all so its truly doesnt matter one bit.  Save yourself the money and get a cheap Celeron. For riser I use the Mintcell risers and have had no issues.

4gb is RAM works fine, can add more in the future if you need to

EVGA 1k or 1200 PSU should suffice for what you are trying to go with if you do the 1070s if you get 6 or less.
