Hello guys!

 

So, I got an idea. I'm currently studying and living in a student dorm where I don't have to pay for electricity. SOOOO, I'm thinking about building a mining/gaming rig that can be easily confused with a normal pc and it would draw a maximum of 1.5 to 2 kW of power. 
I was thinking about 3 GPU set up in a case. The budget is around 2500 €, but if you can make it cheaper that would be nice!
Also, I would like to play some games and be able to do some AutoCAD, Word, etc...
Do you have suggestions, examples, or any words that can help in my journey?

 

Thanks for your time!

 

BTW. Don't worry about laws, don't worry about heat, don't worry to much about availability but take in consideration.

Realistically there is no deal to be made when it comes to graphics card prices on their own. It might be smart to pick up a prebuilt with an rtx card and mine until the computer pays for itself, and you get a free or heavily discounted fast computer.
