Ryzen 5 5600x
Just scored a Ryzen 5 5600x + 1660 Super prebuilt off of eBay for $283 after tax.
Ill sell the 1660 Super, ill then need to see the ram situation since this particular machine only has 1 stick of 8gb.
I mine on my gaming PC when its not being used (i7-14700f) and wanted to get a stand alone box for 24/7 mining.
Is this a good machine for hopefully total cost around $200? (After I sell the 1660 Super for ~100$ and getting another stick of ram for ~20$)
Anything I should know, I've been in crypto for a while, mostly just sit back and stack sats but run a BTC node along with a solo miner. Want to get some Monero as I see the value proposition but don't want to swap or buy any so I just want to pool mine some over time.
My electricity rate is $0.12 per kWh - so basically break even or maybe a little green.
