I want to mine luxcoin, but it's been incredibly hard figuring out how to do it. Been researching on youtube and reddit but there isn't any good info on either.

Can I just buy any "gaming" desktop that has a GPU in it or do I have to build a mining rig for it? I don't want to do that because that is a ton of work and I've never done it before.
The Lux's algorithm is Phi. It can be mined by GTX and RX cards, but it's easily mined by GTX cards. You can mine with a decent hashpower with GTX1070/1070ti or better. These cards performs good with @Enemy's miner.

Sometimes I mine Lux and Folm in Awesomeminer. These coins is growing fast.

Ok so you use a mining rig right? Not a computer.
A mining rig still being a computer.

My ComRIG is a common PC, with Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM and a GTX1070, but with some cables (risers) connected to another 4 GPUs (2xGTX1060, a RX580 8GB and a RX570 4GB). It's a "hybrid".

Wow ok damn. I know building a similar setup would be hard because I would have to research everything from the beginning. Thanks man.

It's not that difficult to build.  If you can put together a pc, you can build a mining rig.  Only difference is that you'll be attaching multiple gpu's to the same board.  The other question is ... Is it worth doing from a monetary stand point?  Hodl'ing your coins is the name of the game in gpu mining right now.

If Lux coin is Gpu mineable coin which I think it is, buy an already made and configured mining rig.

There are a lot of them for sale in ebay and amazon. They perform much better for mining compared to a gaming Pc no matter how strong the gaming pc is as a mining rig has minimum 6 graphic cards when done right.
