Is this setup good for litecoin mining?

Go to solution Solved by NeatSquidYT,

Looks pretty good; sorry to hear about you living in a hostel :(

hey guys just want to make a small setup for litecoin mining. i know you guys gonna say that its not worth it, i know it's not that profitable but for me it kinda is, i tried litecoin mining in my gaming rig with 2 r9 290x's and i made around 7 dollars a day. but i don't want to keep this setup on for long so wanted to make a dedicated setup it will run at the half speed as compared to mine but it will run 24/7.

 

anyways i chose really weak cpu and less ram cause i am not gonna be using them i am just gonna be using the gpu. here is my parts list http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/ykBCMp

 

i focused mainly on the which is dcuii r9 290 

 

and plus i live in a hostel so no electricity bill

I'd personally down the PSU to an EVGA Supernova G2 750 to save you a tenner
