core i5 series of intel with 3.5GHz is sufficient for your job, but if you have more money you can buy core i7 or i9 series. Core i9-7900X is very good cpu. I suggest u increase your ram to 16Gig

actually, if a CPU would be used mining, Intel Celeron/Pentium is enough. I think if you suggest i7/i9, only wasted your money. same with RAM, for mining 4GB, is enough.

I have 2x 1060 without any use. I decided to build a tiny rig to mine with them. For now without risers. Going to add a few more NVIDIA GPUs if they are cheap. Eventually I will have max 5-6 GPUs.

Question:
Which motherboard will give me best out of the box results?

- MSI H270-A PRO
- Li Bai Mining Motherboard 6 Graphics Cards for Intel CPU included
- H270 GAMING M3
- Z270 TOMAHAWK
- B250 GAMING M3

or any recommendations will be appreciated

Will this CPU be sufficient?
(Intel Pentium G Series 3.50 GHz Dual-Core LGA 1151 )

win 8.1
8gb ram

- MSI H270-A PRO (do I need any adapters for the m.2?)

yes, you need M.2 to PCIe adapter if you want to plug 7 GPU. your Processor support this Motherboard but RAM must DDR4, I suggest you're using Window 10

'The right to privacy matters'

so all you have is 2 cards? correct

are you looking to run win 10?

win 10 wants more ram and better cpus.

but if the rig is 100% miner that garbage cpu will do the trick.

if i do a win 10 build I buy these used ones and put in 8gb ram

I almost always end up using the win builds for other things and mining to boot
