You just need a regular desktop with the fastest CPU you can afford, water cooled and overclocked. Make sure the
mobo supports OC and everything else can be stock. And of course use the miner in my sig.

Thanks for the assistance. What I am planning to test mining on is https://z.cash/
Right now I think it can be mined only be CPU. They have a testnet and I would like to play around with mining there. Do you think it will switch to GPU mining later once a mainnet is already set up? I have noticed that most of the POW coins started with CPU mining then GPU mining later started. I have also read that the zcash developers want it only to be mined by CPU only. Is that possible?
Ooops, missed the part about zcash, my miner can't do it. Some algos are more difficult to mine with a GPU and are often
not worth the effort or don't provide the performance, but anything is possible, I mean a GPU miner is always possible
or it may never exist.
If zcash uses a brand new algo it may not have a third party miner available and may only be mineable from the wallet.
Miner development for new algos depends on interest in the coins that use them.
