Burst Mining Rig Specs (CPU, RAM, MOTHERBOARD)
-
I am thinking of build a computer dedicated to mining burst with a large amount of Hard Drives for mining, however, i am not sure what CPU to buy, and nor am i sure how much ram i will need? Can anyone help, thanks!

@Burst-Miner2 A mainstream gaming PC should be able to mine 100TB+ ... CPU is less important, you can use a GPU to assist CPU. Normal 8-16GB memory are enough for mining.
-
Do i need the GPU for Mining or Just plotting? Like, when i plot that is when in need the power of the GPU, or is it just when i mine?
-
Also, if i were to plot the drives on my Gaming PC (Intel Core i5 6600K Overclocked to 4.6Ghz, 16GB RAM and a GTX 1070), and then move the drives onto my mining rig, would that work? The mining rig isn't all that powerful CPU wise and doesn't have a GPU.

Just an example, my mining rig is built with a Gigabyte AM3+ Micro ATX Motherboard (6 SATA PORTS), AMD 6 CORE CPU, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1050 Ti GPU. Video Card is used to mine bytecoin just for a little side profit to sell and buy burst.

I mine 80TB a $350 laptop. Intel i5, 2.5 GHz on 1 USB 3.0 port with a $350 laptop. You don't have to spend $5k on a monster computer to earn $2/day in Burstcoin.

@rds My rig that I explained above cost $400, Bought all my parts on Cyber Monday from Amazon plus 10% employee discount. But I can also use my mining rig as a gaming PC since it has the GTX 1050Ti.

I got you, my point is that you don't need big powerful machines. In fact the whole concept of why Burst is better than BTC is the green/low power approach. Good mining to you.

Only big and powerful thing you really need is hard drives :)
