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 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
He can't really buy that many as he needs to buy a whole system. That's why I suggested he must look for second-hand parts with warranty. He could get 2x 1060s and the rest of the equipment he needs.

Well if he could get a steal deal on the second-hand hardware that he will buy he could get 3  gtx1060s. However he still need to buy a good PSU.

I suggest for him to get at least a Corsair RM650x or RM750x for around $90 to $100.

He could also get a bronze 80+ psu at around $70 at newegg or amazon right now.

I just built my rig and I like the RX 580 but it's out of your current budget.  What are you trying to mine?

that is the my problem Smiley
But you start small and work your way up from there. You can even try 2x 1060 6GB. I would advise buying as much equipment as you can second hand. Just make sure they have warranties left

Hello Guys,

I new in bitcoin, also in mining. I want to start dash or monero mining,  i have a laptop gtx960m and i7 - 6700k. I think it's no way to earn coins with that hardware.

Any hardware, pool recommendations .

My budget for  hardware 1000$.

I have free electricity.


You are in a very good spot with that budget and free elec. Check out some youtube vids on setup and how to's. First get a BTC motherboard with 6 or more pcie slots (12 ideal). Then buy GTX1070s and Platinum or Gold rated PSUs with enough PCIe connectors. Ideally you would want your PSU to run between 50-70% thus you'll need 2 if one doesn't have the wattage.

Also get pcie risers for the amount of GPUs you are planning (always get 1 extra), 4GB RAM, cheapest CPU, 128GB SSD, cheap mouse & KB, something to build the rig into (be it a frame or something else).
