Hello mining gods,
Just been wetting my feet on this world for several weeks now. My current plan is to set up 5-6 gpu rig that I can also use as my personal computer. Is this a possibility? I have seen very few people demonstrating such set up but I was not sure if this would be efficient. I know GPU mining does not really affect ram, cpu, and sdd power so if I use something like z270 + i5-7500 and use integerated graphic card, wouldnt it be decent personal computer I can use while mining full time?
GIGABYTE Z270P
i5-7500
4-8gb ram
evga g3 1000w PSU
1070 x 5 or 6
Basically my goal is to set up a rig that can be fully efficient as mining rig but also fully functional as personal computer without affecting the performance of mining. Is this quite possible? not a heavy gamer, mostly browsing, streaming. I believe integrated graphics will do fine but occassionally I guess I can take one gpu off from the mining task to play some game? Is this possible? Any advice is appreciated. Also, which 1070 do you guys recommend? I been hearing evga hybrid, evga stock etc etc.
Thanks guys.

Don't have computers with 5 or 6 1070's - All my computers are only 2 1080Ti's for now but same specs pretty much as what you're planning and I have ZERO problems surfing the web and downloading updates configs etc which mining.
When I'm updating them I actually leave it mining until it's time for me to implement the changes. So installing stuff, tweaking, general surfing have no effect that I can notice while it's mining - of course as w/everything YMMV
