You need a graphics card good for mining eth, motherboard, processor, power supply, hard drive and RAM. Google and the instructions included when you buy the parts will instruct you on how to build it.

Thats exactly why im here, ive googled and there is so much information and opinions on which gpus and other equipment. Always found the knowledge here to be better than random searches on google.

Just buy a GPU and put inside your PC (assuming you aren't using a laptop or Mac) and go from there. If you like what you are doing then buy more GPUs and you'll need risers for more than > 2 GPUs.


Thats the trouble i use a laptop and my old tower pc is ancient.

New to this part of the forum but been around the btc section for a while. Ive only ever used asics on and off as a home hobby miner as noise/heat and electricty consumption are a factor for me.

Im interested in setting up a small expandable rig to mine ETH alone. Having never really dealt in any indepth computer building etc im totally lost in regards to how and where to start. I know what bits are and can plug them in but other than that its a mystery  Cheesy im eager to learn though and generally quick to grasp things. From what i understand there are a few different OS i could use but for simplicity i would like to stick with windows.

Basically what bits do i need to buy to get started (one card for now just to dip my toe in) and how the hell do you build it all lol.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

P.s. Im based in the UK so if hardware suggestions could be that region specific it would be a great help.
