I would like to start ethereum mining,I would need the full setup tutorial.I have absolutely free Electricity with no limit and 0 cost. could you guys please tell me best hardware to start with.

1- What kind of PC should be as i have 3 AMD Athlonx2 computers.(good enough or do i need something else)
2- GPU - which is the best GPU for Ethereum mining right now to get max hash rate (both for solo and pool mining) and how much price would be and from where i can buy them new or used?
3- How many ethereum can i generate per day from GPU with highest hashrate
4- How many GPU can i use in one PC and how to connect multiple GPUs and computers for mining.
5- what other hardware and tools are required to start instantly
6- How faster internet speed should be?
7- If i forget to ask something please write here aswell

Any detailed tutorial/guides and help to setup things instantly will be really appreciated.



Your are too late for the party, but here are the answers:

1- processor not important, but need at least 4gb ram, need a motherboard with the most pcie (asrock h97 aniversary for example) for 5-6 gpu per rig
2- amd r9 290 or 390 hash about 30 mhs, cost 200-300 each
3- with one of those card mentionned, 0,25 eth/day for now, but its dropping
4- 5-6 gpu per rigs, you need pci risers to connect them on pcie x1 slot
5- need good and strong powersupply (1500w+)
6- no need of lightning fast internet with huge bandwith, just a good ping

I dont think this is something you should really bother doing anymore. Ethereum is in a bit of trouble with the whole dao hack and even if it wasnt they are moving to pos soon which means all the gpus that youve just bought will no longer be able to be used to mine ethereum. Although you could mine other coins im not sure the profit is worth it by the time you take into consideration hardware costs.

If you still insist on mining i can answer most of those questions though.
