great, thanks rikuu. With some regards to some of the GPU's mentioned above for ETH ^ what would the average power consumption (in watts) be if one was using a pc tower? I know usually wattage is usually outlined on miner spec

A home miner paying regular price for kWh, using a PC with a single GPU in it probably won't be making any money. A single GPU is around 150W-200W at the wall (depending on the GPU), and the rest of the PC adds around 50W on top of that.
Professional GPU miners uses PCs with 6+ GPUs so the added power is minimum, not to mention that their electricity prices are really good (doesn't make sense otherwise).

Perfect, thanks Rikuu. And regards to ETH mining hash rate, how much would the ETH mining hash rate be for one GPU? Just trying my best to get realistic figures here. My electricity is around 14p kWh. so that's around 17c
