Well thought about it but like this I will save 200-250e for things that I have already like RAM, CPU, MB...
300e is 1 more 1060 Smiley
And I want to do ROI asap

Guys,

Currently I have this PC:
MB: P8H61-M https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61M/specifications/
CPU: Intel i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3,10 Ghz
RAM: DDR3 8gb 1666Mhz
HDD: 1TB WD Green 7200rpm
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6700 1gb DDR5

And on it I play Heroes of Newerth with these requirements:
Processor - 2.4GHz Core 2 or i3 / 2.2GHz i5 or i7 / AMD 3500+ or faster
RAM - 2.0+ GB for Win XP / 3.0+ GB for Win 7
Video Card - 256MB Geforce 7800+ or Radeon X1900+
OS - 32-bit Windows XP, 64-bit Windows 7
Network Connection Required (Broadband)

My MB has:

1 standard GPU slot (use my current gaming card ATI Radeon HD 6700 1gb DDR5 for gaming)
2 x 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 (there I want to place PCI-Express x1 to 2-3x PCIe x1 Slots Splitters)

I have 3x Asus dual 1060 6gb (I want to connect them on those 2 x 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots with the slot splitters)
The thing is those slots are only 2.0 instead of 3.0. Will they affect hashrate? I think not.
Add this PSU: http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/modular-vs-series/v750s/

I want to invest as little as possible, but if efficiency means alot I can change HDD to SSD 12gb for 60e.

And finally I want those 3 Asus cards to mine and also be able to play HeroesOfNewerth on this same PC.

Is that possible? I mean regarding RAM, CPU, 1 GPU for gaming and 3 GPUs for mining, that same MB that PSU and so on....
Any tips?

Thank you! Wink
