Hi, would my PC be any good for BTC mining? Specs: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/tWX98K

Nope. BTC mining is only for ASIC miners nowadys, no PC will ever have any chance.

BTC mining is pretty much dead unless you have ridiculously cheap electricity costs and a battery of ASICs.

Which new one?

I used to mine ether before it dropped and I only made like 3$ a month (with electricty costs) but maybe you can find something profitable

anyone can mine, nobody will make a profit on a normal pc. energy cost and hardware degredation outweight the reward with bitcoin.

 

Unless you have dirt cheap power or don't pay for it then you can make some money.
