What currency do you want to mine? It varies for each. Mining Bitcoin on a rig is just not worth it at all anymore, yeilding about .03 cents (USD) a year on my 1080Ti, not even accounting for electricity cost. NiceHash (think LTT did a vid on them) is a good option for just trying to have your PC generate some extra cash in it's free time. Don't think there's a way to set "50%" usage, but as seen in another LTT video, GPU performance degradation isn't really a problem. And the benchmarks ran on the card used for testing in the video are probably going to be a lot more intense then mining. Videos are dropped bellow, let me know if you have any questions ft. Nice Hash GPU degradation

Depends on current cooler, but Hyper Evo is always a good, economical choice (30 USD) and will definitly be good for the 6700, and likely future upgrades you get.

Which model of that chipset did you get?

Is the mobo lighting up and fans running?

As mentioned before, extreme care is the key to whatever you do, but using an exacto knife as a pry tool to break the suction the paste has made is a decent option, or trying to twist it off the cold plate (if the cooler doesn't go over the edges of the CPU, which it kind of looks like in the picture). EDIT: Glad you got it off. Using about a pea sized or grain of rice sized blob of thermal paste is usually enough.

$350 seems like a good ballpark. Checking Craigslist/LetGo/where ever you're selling it for how much other PCs are being sold for in your area is also a good indicator.

Depends on what games, maybe for League, and Hearthstone, but probably not anything more intense than CS:GO.

Please do adhere to the outline when posting to this forum, it can be found in the sticky post at the top.

I have the PG278QR (1440p 165Hz) and I can tell you Asus' ROG monitor build quality is fantastic. I can't speak to that model's performance but mine runs very smoothly, no dead pixels, and came very well packaged.

Hero boards are the general go-to for gaming builds. They are reliable, come with all of Asus' gaming features, full IO, and look great in the machine

Reasoning? I would go for the G2 PSU, you won't come anywhere near to needing the 750W. You could also look into a 1TB SSD, Crucial is great quality, and a bit less expensive. PS. Great formatting! Wish every build plan had this level of detail and caring!

Ya, a likely cause of that is everything being in the same outlet. Plugging your PC directly into the wall by itself should sort it.

Uhh, no. Try using your Seasonic PSU when the PC is being plugged straight into the wall, with nothing else.

That said, I would always recommend a UPS, great investment for unexpected power outages, giving you more time to safely turn off your system

No problem, glad to help! Happy Linuxing (it's a great OS :P)
