I see you're hailing from Ireland, as am I.

I couldn't find a decent price for AMD RX 580's in Ireland, so I ended up at SCAN in the UK, still cheaper than any shop in Ireland that I could find and, that's including the shipping.

The one I linked to above you could probably slot into the 1 x PCIe x 16 slot you have, to get started at least, the rest, I'm guessing you will need to get decent riser cards for.

My understanding thus far is that the PCIe slots do not need to run at generation 2/3, in fact, some sites I've read suggest that, for mining, you should set the PCIe slots to Gen 1 to avoid potential hassles.

Another thing to bear in mind, from my reading around, is that the AMD cards perform at their optimal when you flash their BIOS's to a modified BIOS, so, with that in mind, I went for the card I linked to in this post, as the BBT video on this card also had a link to the BIOS he created for this card/memory configuration.

Indeed I am, component pricing here is pretty crazy TBH. Interesting re PCIe slots, I'll have to look into that for sure, I might be able to get more than the 3 that I had thought possible.... I'd say the power supply would feed all of them. I currently have an radeon R9 M360 card in my cpu /gpu rig (which is also my desktop). I'm getting about 62 Mhz on DEC and 10.44 Mhz on Eth on GPU (overclocked to 1050 Mhz GPU with 1350 Mhz memory overclock) plus an extra 230 h/s off the cpu XMR. Not a lot, but between all my CPU miners I am getting 1.3 -5 Khz for XMR.

I'd like to get a much better Mhz on this new rig and I'm going to be free to play with Bios Etc on this one as I dont have to work on it!
