First rig - please help

[boxerbobby]

Hello BTC Community

i decided to join the mining world and start with gpu mining.

Budget: around 10k€ (but i want to spend it "slow")
my Plan: i was thinking to build my first mining rig, configure it, optimize all settings and see how it goes. If it fits my expectations i will stock up.
electricity cost: 16 cent/khW (i might switch my provider wich will safe me around 1-2 cent)



MOBA: ASUS Prime Z270-P 121€

GPU:
6 x 1080 TI, 747,67 €
After long thinking, researching, planning, Exeling i desiced to go definitely NVIDIA. I have to say that actualy i would like to go on 6 x 1080 TI. (room space, heat, resale value and so on...) but here comes the Problem -> PSU, Watt.

To be honest I am really not sure that i will use the stock 250W for mining so i will undervolt/clock and see how it goes. On the other side if i have such powerfull GPUs i want to try different Settings soi need enough power.

What options do i have here? 2 x PSU? Does it make sense? Is it possible that i might get difficulty here? (Driver problems, and so on?)


PSU: Corsair HX Series HX1200 80PLUS Platinum 1200W ATX 2.4 203,29 € or
EVGA SuperNOVA G2 1300 1300W ATX 2.3 299,00 €

CPU: Intel Pentium G4400, 2x 3.30GHz, boxed (1151) 54,24 €
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury blue DIMM 8GB, DDR3-1600, CL10 61,50 €
SSD: SanDisk Plus 120GB, SATA Interface: SATA 6Gb/s • Read: 530MB/s • Write: 400MB/s 55,99 €
Case: i was thinking to make something like that
Thanks

Hey @boxerbobby welcome, your not going to be mining BTC with GPUs.

That electricity cost is not all that cheep but workable, and a bargain if you heat your home with electricity.

Here is my take on bitcoin mining at this time. https://bitco.in/forum/threads/asic-mining-consultant-needed-will-pay-10-paypal-or-paytm-preferred-indian.2099/#post-38622

and here are my thoughts on mining in general. https://bitco.in/forum/threads/what-other-coins-can-i-earn-with-my-computer.1938/#post-37315

Don't mine ZCash with it, go for DGB-Skein, you will get more from it. Also don't forget to add monitoring software for it: http://mylifegadgets.com/setup-ethmonitoring-miner-software/

The setup seems right to me. I would use EVGA Gold only: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-PLATINUM-Crossfire-220-P2-1200-X1/dp/B00KYK1CKI/
