Yeah, a good decision there and it is really good mining some Ethereum and other altcoins like Monero on GTX 1060's as it has good efficiency and balance on Power-to-Hash ratio and pair it with free power then you can have a good payout. Also use GTX 1060 6GB/s versions as it has more potential on mining Ethereum than those 3GB/s versions that only recommends mining on zCash.

Thank you Breadginger56, would you recommend the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB's? I can find them for roughly $300 ea (25 +/-) on Newegg it seems so start out with a couple of those? I have some spare i5's and ssd's laying around so I won't have to come up with that money which is good. If I scrap the spare PC (pc2) and toss it's video card into PC1 I can scavenge the mb/psu/hdd out of that machine which will save me some money right now.

It seems everyone recommends ETH mining with a alt-coin but I wasn't certain I could do that using XMR-Stak, I'm using it as it's the one I'm semi-familiar with how to setup. With the difficulty rising at a steady rate I just don't want to buy miners then it be obsolete before I'm able to get a good ROI.
