Hello all!
I just built a computer recently, and thought about GPU mining as a way to pay for gas for my car I will be driving and other things. I live with my parents, as I am still in high school, and don't want a job that will distract me from education. I scrolled through some forums, but got scattered answers and found really complicated articles that werent really direct. Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 @3.5 GHz
GPU: ASUS AMD RX 480 with 4GB GDDR5
Motherboard: ASUS Z270-K
PSU: EVGA Supernova 650W 80+ Gold
Case: Cooler Master HAF XB EVO
OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit
RAM: 8GB Hyper FuryX 2133 DDR4
I am afraid that this will stress my GPU and decrease lifespan. Should i get a separate graphics card with a PCI riser? What program(s) is/are simple to use and efficient to mine with? Any GPU recommendations? Will power draw be really high? What crypto currency is easy to mine and is profitable?
I am in no hurry, but want to create a sound and easy way to mine a few bucks to cover minimal costs of driving around town, and potentially more serious PC upgrades.
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. Greatly appreciated.
