3000$ mining rig?

[goldennkira98]

what is the most profiteble mining rig you can get for 3000 $?  And who much money can I get from it?

[Cacao]

It's an enormous risk, you can calculate all you want now, but by the time you actually get the thing together and start mining the market will probably be completely different. So there's no way of predicting how much money you'll make, especially in the long term.

[Paralectic]

I wouldn't do it, it's a big gamble.

[Osmium]

I woulden't personally. But the best mining rig would be an intel celeron or AMD sempron(basically the cheapest CPU you can find) then find one with 4PCIe slots. Then buy risers and splitters and plug as many R9 280xs as you can afford and a 1500w 80+ gold/Platinum PSU. Not a lot of thought has to go into these really.

cryptocurrencies is having so much trouble right now (because of everything related to bitcoin), I don't know why you would want to invest that much now.

herer u go. you can use this for any non asic type coin. prices may very but this hardware is quite good

There is a bunch of new asics coming out and some for Litecoin, so once they hit ht market the difficulty will skyrocket. I would watch the market and make a investment when you see a crash and then learn to follow the trends so when the asics FINALLY hit the market you will know what you are doing and 3k will buy a pretty boss asic. To answer your question I would say wait and if you have a current desktop that can mine I would mine a little just because it is fun to watch the value and not be worried about making 3k back.

With that rig, you would approximately get 3.5 MH/s which, today, could get something between 18$ and 25$  per day. To that amount, you would need to subtract the cost of electricity.

 

With that rig, you have the capability to add another 280x with no other hardware needed.

Also, to those saying that asic miners are coming and that gpu mining rigs are doomed, well I have a few arguments for still using gpus rigs. 

 

1- Asic miners made by a handful of companies, will be out of stock as soon as they hit the market, and new units will be released real slow and at a rising cost (just like 280x, 290, 290x from december to this day);

2- Seeing point 1, the difficulty will not skyrocket as if everyone magically switched to high gear on asic miners;

3- Asic miners will require a huge up front investment and are therefore not for the mining mass;

4- The key advantage of Asic mining is less power usage per Kh/s. In Canada (in my case Quebec), as well as a lot of other countries, electricity is not that expensive. I, for instance, pay an increase of around 150$ per month for 11 280x mining, which isn't that big of a deal. Keeping in mind that asic miner are not powerless, this makes the power saving of switching to asic a lot less, and quite null compared to the added cost. That being said, a lot of people are not interested.

5- Gpus, psus, mobos, ram, cpus,  have a resale value outside of the crypto realm. Asics do not.

I want to say no , the profitability has dropped insanely ,

6- scrypt-N, scrypt-jane, and sha-3. There will always be new coins to outrun the ASICs, gpus aren't going anywhere.
