I just assume you're going to mine ZEC to calculate the profit.

Hashrate + Power calculation:

1x EVGA GTX 1070 SC: ~450sol/s ------ 140W
2x Zotac GTX 1070 Ti Mini: ~510sol/s -- 165W*2
2x EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2: ~740sol/s -- 235W*2
(Yes, you should buy 1 more 1070 Ti if you still have budget).

Total hashrate: 2950 sol/s. With this hashrate, you may get ~1.45 ZEC/month which is about 480$/month.

Power cost: (940W * 24*30)*0.12$ = ~82$/month

So basically you have the return around 400$ if I'm correct.
Your case is mostly the same as me, most of my hashrate is used to mine ETH & XMR, but I just want to test for fun or for whatever, I build more 3 Nvidia rigs to mine several altcoins: FTC, XZC, BTG, ZEN, ZEC, VTC.  

Thank you.

You can check the hashrate of zotac 1070Ti with neocrypt algorithm

I would highly recommend experimenting on your own first to get an understanding for yourself of what you're investing in and the overhead required to maintain it. Experience will be the best guide in your decision to invest in new hardware.

Aptly said, you will get to see lots of new things when you actually do it.

One more thing to add is to consider the skyrocketing difficulty for most of the alt-coins, so predictions are generally fine given that prices are also increasing for the coin you are mining.

I've ordered some parts. Due to order limits they aren't all the same and I wish I'd went all 1070 Ti. My expectations as a minimum I expect to clear $300USD/month, but hope for $450/month or more. Energy costs around $0.12/kWh

1x EVGA GTX 1070 SC (already own)
2x Zotac GTX 1070 Ti Mini (awaiting arrival)
2x EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2 (awaiting arrival)
Should I buy 1 more 1070 or Ti? I can't find the mini. I'm not sure if I want to buy another or not.

I have:
SeaSonic 1200W Prime Gold
EVGA 850W B2
1x mobo w/ 6x PCIe
1x mobo w/ 4x PCIe

I have more funds but I'm scared to spend it until I see what I can make with this. Plus the EVGA SC 1070 and 1070 Ti isn't at the optimal price I'd like.

Sure I've checked out Whattomine about five dozens times the past week and coinwarz and maybe another and they all seem to give pretty good numbers, but I know it isn't always exact and reality  is usually less than what it shows. But anyone that's been mining with Nvidia GTX 1070 or higher can you at least provide some idea of what I king of profit (aside from electricity costs) I can expect mining MONA, BTG, or ZEC? Are the numbers on Whattomine anywhere near correct? I understand the prices change and so do the profits. Should I focus on mining one single coin?

I used to mine ETH with AMD and earlier in the year. So that's all I know. But it looks like more profit to be made mining other coins with Nvidia, so that's what I'm trying to do.

Any comments or suggestions?
