OK, I don't plan to spend a dime on more hardware for currency mining- just wondering if my already bought-and-paid-for gaming rig could make me some money when I'm not gaming or just surfing. I mean, why not? Any experienced miners out there who could weigh in?

Aorus Xtreme 1080 Ti (OC'd but easily returned to stock at the click of a button)
I5-3570K @ 4.4Ghz
16GB DDR3 1866
Seasonic gold 650W psu
Windows 7
Cheap electricity at condo unit
Excellent cooling all around

Not looking for fools gold, but if this rig can make me money while I'm asleep then why not?
Thoughts? Worth the wear & tear?

Not enough to make it worth it. With one GPU you will barely make enough back to make up the cost of electricity.

Want to do something useful with your PC when you're not using it, try folding at home:

Won't make you money but will make you feel good you're helping people.
