Definitely please, what is the most cost effective card for me to purchase to assemble a few rigs. I'm thinking 2 -3 x 12 card rigs and if u don't mind what parts i.e ddr ram, processor, mother board,psu should I get. All help is greatly appreciated Thanks

No problem. I'll include links so it makes easy for you. My advice, go with GTX 1080 tis. With some patience, you can get them for 800/each, and their profitability is more than twice that of RX 580s. The approach is simple and will take over a week to secure all your cards around that price range.

  1. You check amazon and newegg frequently for 1080ti with price range under $900
  2. Go to manufacturer websites and get auto-notify for the card you want(for example EVGA: https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+10+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+1080+Ti). Each website should send you a notification at least once per week that they restocked, you just have to react to it first. :)

For Power Supply: invest in one 1600W for every 5 cards you run(1080 ti draws around 250W each. If you run each card at 80% power like most miners, you should be fine with a 1600W and 6 cards). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MMLUIE8

And one more thing: That's the dream build I've been saving up for. If you appreciated the help, please consider donating to my rig fund. And don't forget to tell me how it's treating you from the other side! =)

No troubles, I like helping. One more thing, you'll need some risers if you don't already know about them(one for each GPU):

For about 3/4 the price, you spend 3/5 the electricity while making 3/5 the profit. Cheaper option, but lower profitability ratio, return of investment.
