MINING RIG PART 1 (CHOOSING THE PARTS)steemCreated with Sketch.

Here is what i have selected for my mining rigs:

Motherboard : ASRock H97 Anniversary

Many miners use ASRock H81 Pro BTC which i have also selected it in the first run but then i decided to go with ASRock H97 Annyversary (specs) because of new chipsets and it can be sold easily after i am done with mining (if ever comes to that).
The Asrock H97 Anniversary (ASRock ATX DDR3 1066 LGA 1150 Motherboard H97 ANNIVERSARY) comes equipped with PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, but the Asrock H81 Pro BTC comes with PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. Even though, currently, the performance difference is negligible, the H81 Pro BTC may not be able to keep up with advancements in GPU technology in the further future.

AMD Radeon RX 480

AMD Radeon RX 470
