here is my setup. how does it look


XFX GTS XXX Edition RX 580 8GB OC+ 1386Mhz DDR5 3xDP HDMI DVI Graphic Cards RX-580P8DFD6 (6)eaNot bad

SPARTAN V2 Open Air GPU Mining Rig Frame Computer Case Chassis - Ethereum ETH Zcash ZEC Monero XMR

Intel Core I3-4160 Processor 3.60 GHz, 2-Core LGA1150 Socket, Hyper-Threading (BX80646I34160) Overkill- I run cheap Celerons and they handle everything with plenty of power leftover


EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ GOLD 1000W, Semi Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 5 Year Warranty, Power Supply 210-GQ-1000-V1 way under powered for your set up I think.  Look at a 1500w version it would be much better.  The PSU runs better when it isn't maxed out. Those cards are pulling around 150-185w each. Even better would be 2 1000s- That way you have some overhead and not maxing one unit out


Kingston Digital, Inc. 120GB A400 SATA 3 2.5 Solid State Drive SA400S37/120G 2.5" SA400S37/120G What OS are you planning to use?

Patriot Viper 3 Series, Black Mamba, DDR3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PV38G160C9K) Overkill


ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 LGA 1150 Intel H81 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard Good to go


PCIE Riser, YIKESHU 6 Pack PCIe PCI-E 16x 8x 4x 1x Powered Riser Adapter Card w/ 60cm USB 3.0 Extension Cable & 6-Pin PCI-E to SATA Power Cable - GPU Riser
Adapter - Ethereum Mining ETH (6 PICK) Have some of these on 1 rig- they work




Does all of this look good? Grin
