Hi guys!
i decided to join the mining world and start with gpu mining.
Budget: around 10k€
my Plan: i was thinking to build my first mining rig, configure it, optimize all settings and see how it goes. If it fits my expectations i will stock up.
electricity cost: 16 cent/khW (i might switch my provider wich will safe me around 1-2 cent)
I would really appreciate your help in choosing the right hardware for me - just a little note, personaly i am willing to learn about flashing bios, changing straps, optimizing stuff with OC and so on
but thats my first mining rig and i dont want to loose my AWESOME motivation cause nothings works (like driver problem)
dont get me wrong! Of course i am not going to mine with the stock settings. Also, i would really love it if the hardware would be really quite, and the cooling would be good (guess like everybody else)
So after some research what is available here (in Austria), here is the list:

I read here at these forum that 27 page official 570/580 Thread but still cannot decide what to choose What i remember is that in generaly the RX 5xx series have more "driver problems", specialy in setting up and optimizing but is better for resale?
