Finally I decided to build my Ethereum rig with 6 Gtx 1060 (6gb version). I would have some questions:
-How do I check what type of RAM the graphic card is? It is true that only Samsung and Micron RAM allow a good overclock? Wich GTX 1060 brand should I choose?
-What kind of power supply do you recommend? 850w is ok?
-Ram? 4 gb should be ok... DDR 4?
-Motherboard and cpu: A normal Celeron would be ok, right?. Wich one exactly? I obviously also need to find a motherboard that supports that type of cpu. ASRock maybe is a good choice. Wich model should I choose?
Thank you!

It is true that only Samsung and Micron RAM allow a good overclock?
from what Ive seen and done it might be true only Samsung and Micron RAM allows good over clocking , can't really say because all my NV cards are either Samsung or Micron RAM . i just happen to buy them that way an had no idea when i bought them . SO I'm not sure . Samsung does seem to overclock better then Micron if that helps any .
Wich GTX 1060 brand should I choose ?
any brand seems ok, all NV 1000 series cards are built well unlike AMD Cards . an I'm a AMD fan.
What kind of power supply do you recommend? 850w is ok?
Yea that fine but a 1200 watter might be better for later on ....
Ram? 4 gb should be ok... DDR 4?
The 1060 only comes with 2 sizes in ram
3 gb and 6gb
Id go with the 6gb because this year some time if what i saw is right the 1060 3gb won't be able to mine ETH anymore but will still be able to mine anything else due to the size of the Dag file out sizing a 4 gb card .
IF all you plan to mine is ETH ...
