hi guys

am looking to build my first rig right away, what is the best card first of all to go with at this point of time ?

no chance i can find any 3080's so ill have to stick with the older cards, how does it sound having multiple 5700 xt cards (maybe 7) ?...

what board mainly will i need ? and PSU for this many cards ?

the 5700 xt sells 600$ each over here ?

any finally my favorite mining app is nicehash (plz dont laugh) is that capable of mininf with 7x GPUs ?

any thing i need to be aware of ?...

thanks,In my opinion, right now we have two "best" options, if you can't find 3080s

RX 5700 XT and non XT - easier to find, and probably with a good price - hashrate 53 Mhs without Bios mod and 56 to 58Mhs with Bios Mod - consuming 140w to 150w
3060ti - hard to find at MSRP but easier than 3080s, reasonably price with 60Mhs, easy to tweak, consumes 130w and will have a better resale in the future

I would go on 3060ti, but if it's hard to find, buy 2 or 3 5700s and look for 3060tis to complete your rig

The motherboard will depend on how many cards you want, there's good options from Asus (in my experience, Asus is the best for mining with desktop motherboards), or you can buy mining boards if you want just a rig (not a PC to use daily)

PSUs will depends on how many cards too, but if you want 4 or 5 cards, you can buy 1200w GOLD PSUs, or you can use 2 PSUs, and you can buy 2 x 850w for example (you have to check price and availability to see which one worths)

Nicehash is good enough to use, don't worry
In the past I used to mine directly the coins and sell in the exchange, but today I prefer to use nicehash to save time and to get Bitcoins
Nicehash supports how many GPUs you have

Agree with philipma1957 if he is going to mine with 7 GPU then he needs to look for 1600watt PSU just like EVGA t2 that could be run around 7 to 9 cards. Depending on the config and cards you want to run with this PSU if their power draw is below 100w you can run around 10 cards in a single 1600watt PSU.

If this is just a single rig and you don't have a plan to build more rig I suggest you this OS which is easy to setup and free for 1 rig. Check HiveOS, I'm actually not fan of nicehash they already have bad issue before which makes feel uncomfortable and the withdrawal fee is a big high compared mining directly to any well-known pool with free transaction fee. And I don't know if nicehash includes and give the transaction fee rewards to their miner unlike direct pools that they include transaction fees rewards and block rewards to distribute to the miners.
