Hello guys, I'm completely new to mining, just starting. I've read alot about mining but still, won't hurt to get a professional advice from someone who is doing this for alot longer.

The rig is:

GPU - 6x SAPPHIRE RX 580 8GB
MOBO - 1x Gigabyte H110-D3A
Usb - 1x 16gb San Disk
Ram - Patriot 4GB DDR 4
Processor - Intel
Risers - 6x
PSU - 2x 700 W Forton
Windows 10 Pro

It costs arround $3100 and it gets 186-191 hash mining ethereum. Is this a good rig to start with today? Considering Im completely new to mining. So I would still be learning while doing it.

Any advice is welcome, thanks in advance.
570 4gb cards get 29-30 for significantly less cost. You should be able to build a 570 rig for around $2k max (assuming ~$250 per card).

Thanks for the answer. Currently, there is only Sapphire Radeon RX 570 4GB D5 Pulse OC available in my country, which is cheapest from 570's and its $329.
And then there is again this problem because I'm new to this, there is no chance i could build a mining rig by myself, and I dont have any friends that are mining so I cant get help with that. And there is no chance I could mod bios and other stuff by myself. I would like to build a mining rig by myself, I know it's way cheaper than when you buy it off someone, I tryed googling and looking into it, I know hardvare, but no chance i could mod anything. I could build it but with factory settings which will be like 130 MH/s. I wouldn't know any better than that.


That's the real problem at this moment, Almost all AMD cards are overpriced in local markets and if not are out stocks, purchasing them is really pain in the *ss, online web like newegg however has a good offer but still its location based.

I would really recommend GTX 1060 if you don't have time for any bios mod on AMD's, pricing is almost the same however hashrate is lower on ETH algo but higher on other ALGO's.
