the processor and RAM plays almost no role, only the graphics card and the motherboard they must work in tandem

Thanks for the suggestions and nice recommendations. I guess I will go to GTX 1070. But what about other conditions? Motherboard, PSU etc? And what should I dig?
How many GPU do you plan to use? How much electricity will it use?
You should write a good plan when you decided to build a mining rig, so you can picking the good stuff that you need and useless parts to leave off to save even more money.

I don't have enough knowledge about mining, this I know but asking is the part of it 
.
Anyway, I wonder which GPU must be chosen to mine various cryptocurrencies as well as Ethereum. While I'm asking this, I know that GPU itself is not enough and it must be supported by a powerful system as well as a good motherboard. But I consider all the other conditions are fine.
So, which GPU must it be?
Nvidie and it should be 1050ti at least and more is better to be choosen as your GPU that able to mine any cryptocurrency. .

Nvidia Rx series and it will be much better if you can take the latest like Radeon VII as your choice consider it was really efficient to be used to mine crypto.
A latest motherboard will make your GPU will be more efficient.

I own amd rx 500 series cards, they are good for cryptonight and dagger hashimoto algo but not good on any other algo. nvidia cards has more options to mining different algos. So, just grab nvidia gtx 1000series cards or rtx ones with 8gb memory.

So you prefer versatility and resale value than shorter ROI.
If you're into GPU, choose Nvidia, but not the not-so-latest releases like the RTX series.
The best possible candidates are GTX 1070(ti) or 1080(ti) for maximum compatibility to both mining software and algos.
You'll likely find it harder to configure for RTX series GPU than GTX ones and the current price can't even justify the low difference in the hashrates of GTX GPUs.
Also, you can find dozens of secondhand GTX1070s and 80's in online/local stores (brand new ones are cheaper now as well).

You can easily pick up any card from AMD, that is RX 470, 480, 570, 580, 570X, 580X, 590, VEGA 56, VEGA 64.
For Nvidia, that is GTX 1060, 1070, 1070ti, 1080 or RTX 2060, 2070, 2080, 2080ti.
I'll recommend to buy it second hand from a reputable seller as there will be plenty of cards in good condition and for a great price.
For the rest of the components, you do not need beefy hardware, i.e. $40 CPU, 4GB RAM, basic mob, 60GB or 120GB SSD, Good PSU with enough wattage (Don't go cheap here) will do just fine.
