So I have recently seen the bitcoin prices and I was hoping to get my hands on some of that money. I have looked around my house and found 2 GTX 1070s, a pc that's a Frankenstein of old prebuilds. The parts I have are:

CPU: Pentium E5200

GPU: 2 x Gtx 1070

Memory: 2 x 2gb RAM

MoBo: HP MS-7525

PSU: 300W generic Prebuild one

 

I understand I have to get a new PSU and I have a case. I think I need a PCI 1x to 16 x adapter. What Im asking is if that is a good Idea or If I should find an alternative option for the 2 card I already have. 

Thanks 

I don't know how profitable are the 1070s. Considering you have to spend $50 on a pus or maybe more and let's say $5 for an adapter, idk. You might be able to get more for the gpus on eBay if you sell them. I am pretty sure you can get $500 for both. Maybe get an Xbox? 

 

 

Edit: you can get way more for them. On eBay I can see just one for 400

I just checked and the prices are insane for Gpus like mine. Thanks
