Litecoin would be your best option for now, no opinions on pools though
So, just finished putting together my mining rig, have a few more tweaks. Specifically, dummy plugs and jumping the PCI-E x1 slots on my motherboard.
Build is as follows:
3x Asus R9 280X's - R9280X-DC2T-3GD5
1300 Watt EVGA PSU - EVGA SuperNOVA 1300G2
Gigabyte Motherboard - ga-ep45-UD3L from an old computer
4GB Corsair RAM
1 double wide milkcrate + wood holders
2 PCI 16x to 1x risers - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I4BUUKM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
1 PCI 16x to 16x riser - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BZBFTG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm using SMOS - I removed the auto donation script and will give the guy a few bucks instead.
Still learning a lot, especially how to tune the cards, how to configure BAMT (SMOS) correctly, and getting all 3 cards to function correctly. If I can, I may squeak another R9 280X in there, but that may be overdoing it for the PSU.
Looking for a few people to collaborate with and for suggestions in regards to which coins to mine, pools, etc.
