Thanks everybody!! Very helpful. It's hard because I want to put my coins to use but I am trying to be patient and make the right decisions going forward.
I have looked at the new ASIC stuff and especially the Z9 Antminer Equihash but I forgot to mention that I have a Masternode of WaltonChain coins and that can't be used. I feel like i'm in foreign waters but after reading there's a war going on between the GPU and ASIC Bitmain stuff. I read on reddit that WTC would be eventually rolling out their own ASIC miners in the future but after talking to some other WTC miners it seems it's still quite some time away before that happens. Needless to say this is all a bit over whelming but I am up for the task with a lot of help in the process. I appreciate you all that have replied and continue to help.

Here is a similar rig I found online that is for WTC specifically. Seems as though GPU stuff investing is not worth it right now and prices are not good so this is all important to know going forward. Trading is easy compared to this. This is a long term investment to me so YES long term ROI is important.

Uhm, it's even more expensive than your first potential purchase. PM me, I may be able to offer you some help for free.

ASUS Prime Z370-A is very good board and has 7 PCIe slots out of the gate. Costs around $150. Intel i7-8700 under $300 and MicroCenter was offering a bundle discount if you purchased a motherboard and a CPU together. I like Ryzen's but I haven't found a good 7 / 8 PCIe motherboard for AMD4 yet. The Z370-A is a solid board.

Best 1080 Ti's - EVGA and it just so happens they are having an attractive fourth of July sale: https://www.evga.com/products/featured-bundles.aspx

That rig you mention above -- it's not specifically for WTC, just not how this works. It says on that page that it has 6 1080 Ti's but it doesn't list the make or manufacturer.

Spending moar money doesn't necessarily get you a better rig.

Thank you very much. I'm just intimidated with attempting to build my own rig etc...despite my trading background I am not that technical when it comes to computer components, hardware and software, and certainly putting things together. I have PM'd you and responded more in depth. Thanks again.
