Alright guys, I am building my gaming rig this year and my question is when I build it, when im not using it or not gaming on it, would I be able to be able to mine with decent outcomes. This is my planned rig http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2TyJs, :D

thanks in advance

Probability = No.of favorable outcomes

                    _____________________

                      Total no. of outcomes. 

 

In your case, it's a no .

 

I think it's possible for you to run a 770 for gaming and another AMD card for mining*.

 

* You can't of course Xfire/SLI them, you have to run them Independently

Then just go with an nvidia card, and don't mine .

You have another PC? if yes, do the mining work in it. If no, buy a AMD GPU (The price is high due to miming crisis) and then mine when your computer is not being used. I believe that can be done :)
