Im planning to invest a modest amount of fiat.

so i just want to know which are the best components for best rig for 5 or 6 gpu each one.

Im looking for the cheapest ofcourse but taking into consideration multiple factors like

the newest hardware, lowest electric consumption, basicly the most efficient hardware at the moment in thhe market.

i exclude the gpu because the specifications are very obvious, but i still can hear suggestion and reviews of gpus

what other things should i consider? im open to hear every suggestion



I'm not sure if I understand, do you want us to suggest GPUs or do you not want us to suggest GPUs?

Honestly, you can go for a cheap SSD for storage, some cheap 4Gb ram modules, those don't really matter.

For the CPU, either you get the cheapest possible (celerons for 40$) or you get a low TDP i3 (35W) but that will set you back around 120$.

For the mobo, if you want 5-6 gpus, I'm guessing your best bet is the Asrock BTC pro, cheap and can accomodate up to 6 GPUs. Power usage efficiency between motherboards is irrelevant.

Power supply depends on your capacity to mod cards, but a 1000W supply is the minimum

GPU, at the moment, I'd go for RX470 4Gb or 8Gb if you can get them cheap. An RX470 modded properly will use between 80-95W mining ZEC.

There isn't really any hardware that is more efficient than the other. Just avoid older GPUs which use more power. The system without cards shouldn't use more than 50-60 Watts, peanuts.
