sorry wasnt complaining of the high price of the parts from these youtube builder videos, it was rather that, by the time i find the video and click the link, the prices from the time of the video are much higher so I figured you guys/gals could help me identify any more up to date deals/pricing.

I definately am not sold on just using 1gpu, I just figured I would start there and get a 2nd one if/when prices/availability changes.

The 5700xt was just something that became available to buy 2 nights ago... they still havent refunded me the money so I am hoping it arrives tomorrow

I have checked teh specs and the 6700xt seems faster in some ways, but slower in others, does anyone have any up to date testing they can link me, or any thoughts re: hashrate???  Kind of thinking the 5700xt will have the higher hash rate because of faster memory, but im not sure.
