If you’re building a GPU mining rig, then the most important piece of it is the mining GPU! However, other than the wide range of brands, prices, and choices, in a way that’s the easy part of the build.
The often-more-confusing part of a gpu mining rig is all of the other mining rig parts – and this is especially daunting if you’ve never built a custom computer before. There’s all sorts of things to consider – what motherboard to use, how much ram is needed, what size of power supply you need, and on and on.
This section of the GPU Mining Charts website is here to help you through that process. If you still get confused, have no fear! Post your question in the comments section below, or simply use our contact form to reach out. I’m a miner too, and I may not have all the answers, but I’m always happy to help!
