Hi there! I am a programmer from Argentina and I am building my next main PC.

I want it anyway to be mining most of the time because it is supposed that in a year a RTX 2060 would pay itself. But, ignoring electricity bills, with the changes in difficulty and all that stuff, will it actually make at least $30 every month (Websites calculators say $42, but mine won’t be 24/7). Or you say it is not worth it?. I could Also buy more cards in a future with the revenue, this time might be a 1660 ti or equivalent in a year.

Antoher thing we can’t predict is that ETC prices will change over time and therefore it’s revenue also… and that’s something that scares me.

I choosed RTX because I will do deep learning also, and there is a huge advantage with RTX there, but I know a 1660 ti is more profitable.

Also I do maintenance to computers and I can keep my hardware very clean.

Planned hardware by now:

Ryzen 5 3600

2x8GB ram 3200mhz (probably crucial ballistic)

Nvme 512gb

PSU 700W 80p white or 600w bronze

RTX 2060 Super Motherboard Asus B550M Plus Wi-Fi
