so i'm getting an rx card and a decent 450-650w PSU, but the rest of the system i'm thinking about buying a used and old PC, can any mobo power and read my GPU or are there any specific requirements? I'm aiming at total price of about 350 with rx480 a bit more maybe.
A mobo slot with more PCIe slots is recommended for future expansions, z270's are widely used as it can also be resell when mining is not already profitable and decided to give up digging. Also I think 650w would not suffice if you want to expand later on.
yea but i would go 2-3 GPUs since i don't have much money. if i want to upgrade later i can keep the GPUs put PSU in my gaming PC and sell the rest of the equipment for a bit of money. can mobo be limited how much VRAM can it take or are older mobos even compatible with something like an rx480 that has GDDR5 and is 8GB?
