Hello everyone, for those of you who have s8/9's what's a good glass screen protector that will work with the otter-box Defender case? Thank you, Joe.

This is very true and would represent another aspect that's hidden whiten the great list of questions when seriously getting into mining. @Jtalk4456 What's your experience with system building/trouble shooting? What does power cost, do you know how many amps/how large of a psu you can plug into the wall? Where is the system going to be placed, if using stock coolers and planing to keep this in a bedroom is going to be very unpleasant if not dangerous to some extent with poor ventilation/cooling. What's your plan for redundancy, noise, cooling, fire suppression? This just scratches the surface of what your asking, all of this before looking at actual hardware/mining/mining software/drivers/card memory limitations/temperature bottlenecks/securing your wallets/exchanges/trading. Though while it's really easy to build and setup a mining rig I would not recommend building a rig only for GPU mining. When the markets see great lows everyone panic sells, if you plan to gpu mine you need to be invested for the long haul and not for the short term highs. Mining on a gaming rig is pretty simple, but setting up a dedicated miner is an animal of it's own.

1070's are good cards to mine with as they provide good hashing power while still being power officiant, Nvidia cards do really well with any Equihash coins and you can find general calculators (What to mine) (Mine the coin) or something like this chart from a Zcash GPU comparison <-- Though people don't like to reveal what there really getting with a certain card to avoid the market favoring that over another.

While the prices might be the same, the power draw of a titan ruins the overall hashing power the titan provides compared to a 1080ti.

If you're serious about this you got some googling ahead of you, this is a very broad question as there are many other aspects that need to be taken into account when attempting to enter this world at a multi gpu level. 1. Last gen gpu's are as old as you could realistically go, a 970 is a great mining card for "Hash per Watt" but with more and more nvidia friendly mining the market has drastically driven up the prices of these older cards. 1.5x Depending on the miner/coin you decide to mine you will be able to select any individual or cluster of cards. 2. Burstcoin is the coin behind HDD mining, but this is highly unprofitable for any home gamer. 1TB = 50 Burst a month /.89 cents a month.

What exchange are you using? Do you use a market? Anything under Equihash will out profit ETH or any other ethash coin unless you're into this for the coin and not the net return. A stock 970 gets around 220/240 SoL/s, small OC on Air you can see 250/270 SoL/s, if you happen to be water cooled you can OC to 305/315SoL/s, ZenCash, ZClassic, BitcoinGold are all good Equihash coins, currently the most profitable Equihash coin is BTCZ but it's a new coin and only on a few exchanges support it. (EWBF 0.3.4b) Depending on your operating system some ETH miners require 970 users to roll back to a dated driver for compatibility issues, also 970 users need to be on the watch for false memory clocks. Watch your 970 with Msi Afterburner and see if your memory clock changes when gaming/mining from what they are when you watch youtube. The card I have switches to the P2 power state and my memory clock would only run at 3000mhz which is 500 less then advertised/nongaming clocks. You have to use a tool called "Nvidia Inspector" to change the clock rate manually for the P2 state. Unfortunately on restart these changes are undone and will have to be reapplied before mining/gaming. https://whattomine.com/ and ttps://minethecoin.com/ are good representatives of what's currently profitable to mine.

Yes, you can choose to play offline w/ bots or if you enable the console you can load any map that has bots or add/remove bots. an Internet connection is not required to play csgo, steam on the other hand has quirks in offline mode.

Bloody Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with Infrared Light Strike R80 Make sure you pick the R80 and not the R8A, I'm currently waiting for mine to arrive and it will replace my Roccat Kone Pure after 4 years of continues use. I was in the market for a new optical mouse and after Linus's review of the bloody keyboard I checked out their mice, they seem to be big in Asia and Europe so if they make a good keyboard maybe they make a decent wireless gaming mouse. I'm not expecting anything great but at the $40 price tag, I'm not losing too much for trying something new. R80@Specs EDIT: 9/18/17 It has arrived, first impressions if you're used to righthanded mice then it's going to feel a bit weird at first. I've played a few games of PUBG and CS:GO and I can tell it's way faster/more promptu then my old Roccat, my pc is on the desk beside the mouse so no wireless issues as of yet. (Amazon review had wireless issues but what wireless mouse won't at some point?) The software macros and other gimmicky crap don't interest me but the wireless options and dpi settings are very straight forward. Will report after a month in case anyone finds this post helpful.

I had this issue, log out of steam and re log into your account, make sure the remember user is checked otherwise you will get this error sometimes. If I log into a smurf and back to PUBG, it won't launch and give me the error above until I re sign into steam.
