Topic: Should I buy a new gaming PC to also mine? - page 2. (Read 211 times)

The prices of graphic cards are starting to drop. I'm starting to see GTX 1080's under $600.

I'm completely new at mining. I've only mined a couple of alt coins on my laptop. My question is, should I buy a new gaming PC with a motherboard that allows multiple graphic cards? When I'm not using the machine, it could be used for mining? Would buying multiple graphic cards over time be worth it? And would I be able to get a 100% return on investment before the end of 2018?

Any answers would be great. The other option would be to get an AntMiner instead of multiple graphic cards. So, what are your thoughts?
Hello friend
I think it's worth using a graphics card (GPU), because it's like an investment, you can sell it if you do not use it. Antminer (ASIC) keeps upgrading its products, so the price goes down.
You should do some research before buying!

-whether PC game or ordinary PC most important have PCIe to plug your GPU, actually, PC for mining enough using Celeron processor and RAM 4GB.

-at this time, I think the difficulty for 100% ROI if saw price almost all coin was diving but in Cryptocurrency, anyone doesn't know what will happen.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be keeping an eye out on the prices and profability of mining. The good thing is, if the profability of mining goes down, then the prices of graphic cards should decrease as well.

Either way, I'm excited to build a new gaming computer soon.

If you were thinking of buying a new gaming PC anyway, and plan on mining with it while it would be otherwise idle, then yes that might be a great idea.

I would also agree you should choose a motherboard that has multiple PCIe slots, 6 or so would be ideal, but even 4-5 will work to start out with. I would advice to start with one GPU at first and see how prices react int he coming weeks, as I havea feeling they will come down some more.
