ok i understand so the best way to main crypto-coins is buy better graphic card?? for example radeon 7990??(if i like to buy 1only) but my power supply can hold this card??

Those would be capable of mining other sha256 coins, but I don't know what might be involved in pointing them at another coin. It may just be some simple edits in the config file, but I haven't any experience with those usb miners.

ffuu ;(( and what about altcoin?? i need GPU for this??
@edit1:if i have this USB's i can mine any SHA-256 coins??

In order to mine a scrypt based coin, you will need to run a GPU. There's no other way around it.

good damn it;/ but if i by rigs like that http://coinreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/butterfly-labs-5-ghs-asic-bitcoin-mining-rig-the-jalapeno.jpg (5ghs/s) i am be avaliable to mine scrypt coin?? or what i need to buy to mine scrypt coin

Correct; if you are mining with a usb miner such as the one mentioned earlier, there is nothing with your system (PSU, RAM, mobo, CPU, etc..) that you need to change.

with of course with this USB(2.2-2.7ghs/s) can mine crypt-coins with 24/per month ??
The only thing you'll be able mine with a block erupter, or any other usb miner right now, is BTC. These will not mine scrypt based coins. December 12, 2013, 04:07:50 PM
Looks like we're coming to the end...xD so my current hardware:
supply power:OCZ extreme PRO 700W
Motherboard:AS rock N68C-s UCC
GPU:Geforce 550 TI
CPU:Amd Athlon 6400 x2
RAM:2x2Giga DDR2
with of course with this USB(2.2-2.7ghs/s) can mine crypt-coins with 24/per month ??xD so if i correctly understand i do not need change any components in my hardware??

Yep! You can plug those into any usb port on any online system. No other hardware is necessary. You can even get a multi-port usb hub and plug them directly into that. Their power consumption is very low, so you don't need any robust power supply.
December 12, 2013, 03:56:00 PM
yes i mean this but can i plugin this into my USB port??
December 12, 2013, 03:51:08 PM
I am not sure how you will be mining with a usb?? Are you referring to something like a block erupter?

@WillMilk4coin hhmm the most effective;3(even if the calculations from Crypto-coin will be 1BTC per month i will be happy so much:) ) ..my budget can be 700-800dolars right now but can you tell me if i try to mine crypto-coin with USB(2.0 i don't have so money to buy 3.0 ) only like 2.2-2.7 ghs/s this can be a good hardware at the start ?? and please read this: I DON'T WON'T TO MINE WITH GRAPHIC CARD because they are so cheap right now..and usb price are lowest than graphic card
my hardware i can use:
supply power:OCZ extreme PRO 700W
Motherboard:AS rock N68C-s UCC
GPU:Geforce 550 TI
CPU:Amd Athlon 6400 x2
RAM:2x2Giga DDR2

Without asics hardware you should stay away from sha256 and search for scrypt based coins e.g. litecoin instead.

What cryptocoin do you want to mine? It is certainly too late to try GPU mining with BTC.
The most important thing is the video card. For performance comparision (for LTC mining), see here: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison
Generally, you'll want to stick with a Radeon 7950, 7970, r9 280x or an r9 290x. Those will be the best performing cards. Be aware some brand cards, even within the same model lineup, can perform differently.
For the remaining components, it all depends on your budget and how many cards you want to run. Look for a motherboard with the most PCI-e connections (x16 -or x1, x4 and x8 will also work via an adapter).. quantity of RAM is pretty much irrelevant, so 2GB would be plenty. Most of these higher end cards will run in the 250 - 300 watt range at load, so; (# of cards) * 250 + (~100 watts to cover mobo/cpu/hdd/etc components) * 25% (for some headroom) = about the minimum power supply wattage you'll need.

OP if you need serious advices on your next buy, you should state your total budget for the hardware.

hello everyone!!:D i am new here and my question is what hardware you recommended at start to mine crypto-coins ?? i think that GPU mining it's to old right now but i can be in mistake i think to make rig with only USB but can you tell me what motherboad,graphic card and supply power?? how much WAT graphic card and supply power have?? and what about RAM?? please help me ;3 thank you
