You could get a GTX 1060 6gb for around $214 to $280 right now so you can get around 4 GPUs for $1000.

Check prices here: https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=gtx+1060&N=-1&isNodeId=1
And then PSU, motherboard, RAM, processor, raisers, SSD. So you will get only 2 GPUs with this budget Smiley

i'd say today the situation have changed, and now I'd go for vega rig

- motherboard any B250 with 6 PCI-E slots
- CPU  -Celeron 1151 socket
- RAM any DDR4 4GB
- any cheap HDD
- PSU x 750W gold.
- and 6 GPU vega 56

Your best bet would be 1060 6GB cards second hand. Start small with a 750W 80+ Gold PSU (can go up to 5 cards) and grow from there.

Why buy such an old GPU? VEGA one will give approximately the same income. But this GPU will be the future. In the next year will increase production capacity and an old GPU you can throw in the trash. VEGA will work a very long time. It seems to me that my variant is more promising and cheaper.

VEGA is indeed newer (and probably better in some way) but it's much more expensive and consumes more power. Don't count too much on resell value, all GPU cards currently used for mining will flood the market at some point (if they are not broken before). There are way too many cards on the market because of mining, the gamer market is not big enough to swallow the second hand cards that will be in circulation in the coming months/years. If you mine, you need to accept the risk of not being able to sell your GPU (or for a very low price).

for that budget you'll need to go cheap on everything in order to buy as many GPUs as possible. You could probably be around 300$ for everything but the GPU, leaving 700$ for GPU. For that price you get 3x GTX 1060 with a 24MH/s hashrate, you would be around 4-5$/day with current price.

This is just my opinion,

gpu - 5 gtx 1050ti 4gb @ 150$ each = 750$
cpu - cheap celeron 1151 @ 45$
mobo - asrock h11 pro btc 13 socket @140$ ( for future expansion)
psu - seasonic 750w gold modular @ 90$
casing - build your own

All in all its 1025$ build excluding risers, monitors and other peripherals

Expected daily profit of 5$ mining zencash (computation from whattomine.com)

ROI is about 8 to 9 months

Hope this may help.



All how on here, besides GPU  5x Radeon RX560 card, for mining monero aprox he gives 2.5khs.
Price of monero wiil grow for last days and for the moment this give 6.25$

I would stay away from cloudmining.
Start with 1-2 cards and buy more later. I´d recommend AMD if you want to mine Monero.
In order to begin mining on a GPU budget of $ 1,000 is very small. VEGA GPU will cost 500+ dollars. The rest of the money will be used to purchase the motherboard, CPU and power supply. The profitability of production of one of the GPU VEGA about 3 dollars a day. This means that you will have 1 year to return their money provided that you have free electricity.

I think the best to know about hardware is to research in the internet a lot of information and idea you can get about it.,best idea being here in the Bitcoin forum because a lot of here are used into mining.

i dont recommend to buy presale products , especially greedy scammers companies like Bitmain. They are showing that they sell products in batches but no matter they changed their strategy they sell lots of them , so miner will be heater before you receive it. Here you will  see some shitmain's dogs are barking to protect that company and telling some stories about how they perfectly calculated /predicted and most funny that they made all these calculations now , when every thing clear they make predictions Smiley)
So there is no way to calculate before 1st batch received by people, so their calculation stories just another scam.
buy some good graphic cards from gamers for cheap, rx470 is a good candidate if you can buy it cheap.

You must have bought D3's.

Mining monero go with AMD Vega 56. Nothing in the market could beat hash/watt on vega 56. You could get juat a bit south of $500 if you're lucky.

I didn't understand - if you don't have enough money for high quality equipment why don't you think about cloud mining services?
