Old hardware mining

[Jessentis]

Im not sure if this is the right category for this but i have an old r9 270x 2gb, fx 6300 (I can over clock both of them fairly high) and 8gb ddr3 that i have no use for at the moment and cant be bothered to sell so i wondered what i could mine with that system. Money isn't a concern for me so their power draw is nothing to worry about and the heat is also not a concern as i have very adequate cooling for both and my bedroom is always pretty cold so the heat will actually be a bonus.

Just out of interest, if the money isn't of interest to you, what is the point in mining? Would you not be better to devote the resources to Folding@Home or something similar?

You could mine with that hardware, but it probably wouldn't be very efficient. Just stay on top of maintenance and you should be all set.
