I want to build 1070 rig, I have few choices:

Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Dual 8GB - 480e
Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Jetstream 8GB - 530e
Gainward GeForce GTX 1070 8GB - 480e
Gainward GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Phoenix - 530e

What do you think? Is the 480e cards good enough for ETH/Zcash mining, and is there big difference between these 4 cards? Can I dual mine with these cards?

Well with high prices of the hardware right now your ROI will take some time, like 3 and a half months. Huge increases of difficulty every day is also not on your side, lets hope that price will follow at least. You won't probably get rich like early adopters but still you will see ROI and some gains, how much can't say it, all depends when will Ethereum move to POS and how much difficulty will go up. People are talking that after ETH goes POS something else will replace it, like ETC... and indeed it will but how profitable will it be that's a huge question.

I'm in the same boots like you, just started mining with 3 rigs. I would recommend you if you want to start, start asap. Time is not on your side.

Thanks for answers. Well I was deciding btw AMD 580 and Nvidia 1070, and I think this one has better resale value if something went wrong. And you can mine more algos with this one so more coins. That is key factor I'm with nVidia this one. And AMD prices is just ridiculous, like 30-40% more then 3 months ago.
