I just set up a rig using "spare" parts from my operation. Sadly, the best I could find were 2gb cards. The cpu and ram are not that important, as the processing comes from the GPU (video card). I've learned a lot in this process just over the last couple weeks. I invested $$$ into new 6GB gpu's (qty4), plus bought a mining rack to keep it all together as my space is tight. Keep in mind this is a hobby and the money I spent was some of my "play" cash. The cryptomarket is trending down because of valuations and miners flooding the sector. However, I'm going to mine a number of different currencies and keep them in my wallet just in case one of them goes crazy in the next few years. Worst case is I fail and sell everything off and probably break even except for my time. One thing to keep in mind when building is that it is helpful to have the same manufacturer video cards in your rig. I've found there are more obstacles to climb when you mix and match gpu's. Anyway, the fun is in the learning so go for it and hopefully you hit that pot of gold
