Either wait for Vega and new Nvidia cards early next year. For buying or dropping price of current cards. Or look for 280/280x/380/380x  285 sometimes go cheap becuase of lesser know cards. In eBay. IF you have low electricity price then 290/290x/390/390x.

Just read about free power so yes get used 290x or 390x. Just pick up from individual sellers and not alredy mined cards. Also don't forget to check ebay.de as German site some times have better price than UK one. Buy on bidding not buy it now, but don't wait too long if you have free power.

About PSU"s. It's cheaper to get 2x750W usually, then one big one.

I'm building a new mining rig, Already have mobo/ram/cpu/ssd/risers , I need PSU & GPU's

I want a 5 GPU RIG + PSU, I've looked at

1070 - Too expensive? £380 here in uk Sad
470 £180
Second hand 390/390x ** - £200-£250
1060 - £200


** I will have free power for the next 5-7 months, possibly the next 12 months so 390x sure would roi quicker (I think?)

For 5 x 470 is a 1300w PSU ok? or should I look at 2 x 750w's?
Same question for 5 x 390/390x..

Thanks!
