idk how it works but it's getting harder each day so not worth it to start mining now imo

Cryto currency mining , your PC runs calculations for companies and you get payed for it.

What is that? 

Cryptocurrency mining:  Hardware calculates hashes per block and verification of transactions.

Folding (F@H):  Distributed compute client by Stanford University.  Uses hardware to calculate the folding of proteins.

BOINC:  Distributed compute client by Berkeley University.  Allows several Universities or other projects to easily allow clients to choose from a wide range of compute work to work on their hardware.  This can range from the LHC, astronomy, cancer research, prime number searching, and many more.

 

There a reason a few of us have quiet the army of hardware.  Crap gaming, we abuse hardware with compute work.  :P

I stand by the opinion 1080ti SLI is essentially throwing money away. Get a Core i9 CPU or something.

So I have a 850Watt PSU when I only require like less than 600. The reason for 850 is because I'm getting 2x 1080 TI sli soon. And I just prepared with the psu as for now. IS it bad for the pc to have to much power? 

PSU: EVGA PowerSupply (PSU) SuperNOVA G2 850W

Nope. A lot of people actually get a bigger power supply in order to add a second graphics card later. And you don't want to get like the bare minimum since if something goes wrong or you get a shortage then your pc will just turn off.

A PSU will ONLY draw what it needs. You could put a 1200 watt PSU in there and it will not shove extra power to the parts or anything like that, it might even be more efficient at lower power draws when it's much higher rated as well.

No, it's not bad for the PC. It can be less efficient then it could be, and be a waste of money, but it won't harm your PC. 850W is simply how much of a load that PSU can handle, not an exact amount it is going to feed your system at all times.

Yes, 850 Watts would be plenty with a comfortable amount of headroom for overclocks and the like down the road :)

850W? 1080ti SLI can use just under 600W overclocked, so it's enough, but not perfect.
