I wouldn't waste money on CPU mining at all because it's not very profitable. Mostly because of the combination of botnets, FPGAs and because GPUs are generally much, much better at hashing and it's likely that most CPU coins are being mined with private GPU miners.
So it might take years before you get back your investment on the CPU alone - if you do at all.
But even with an i7 your config wouldn't use more than 1300 watts (assuming a maximum of 170W per RX480) so I wouldn't go above a 1500W PSU. I wouldn't go lower either. Maybe you could use 2 x 750W PSUs though if you're fine with it.
If you go for HDD mining my only suggestion is to stay away from WD Greens, at least until you know what head parking is and why that's an issue.

HDD mining? there's only one coin I know of that uses this kind of PoW. i7 Extreme? those cost 1500$, and you will never ever ROI. and why would you need atleast 1500W?
Hi there,
I was wondering (just for recreational use) if it's possible to build a system capable of:
• Dual GPU Mining
• CPU Mining
• HDD Mining
All at the SAME time
This post it to clarify what could be possible and what would be needed to achieve this.
I would guess:
• 6x RX480
• Extreme Core I7 (or server processor)
• 64TB (8x 8TB HDD)
• 1500 Watt PSU (At least..)
Is it possible, or did anyone do this already?
Thank you for your thought's on this.
