So I'm building a computer:

If your wondering I'm getting two of those video cards. I'm planning on using this computer to bitcoin mine. If anyone knows a thing about this please help me out. Thanks
In all honesty... All PC's can mine, but the question is this. Do you want to be making money and mining(Covering the cost of power in your electricity bill, and the possible accidental hardware crash, and dieing about every 6-12 months of 24/7 use?)
Most people who mine, have a dedicated rig, or pay for a dedicated server rig($1000's/M depending on the host) or you can just buy those little miner's for about $35.00, you won't be seeing much, maybe a penny a day, but when it comes to converting the cost to gain.. it's not worth the time and money put into it, unless your making twice as much as your electricity bill in a month's time.
Overall, Bitcoin or any mining in general, is a complete waste of time, and resources unless you have the funds, and time to invest into the hardware, Mining for bitcoins keeps getting harder and harder, since people use dedicated video cards, that work in certain systems(Not Gaming capable, or workstation capable), and aren't cheap at all! I'm looking at you ButterFlyLabs....
But if you really want to get into it... I'd suggest saving up money, and buy dedicated ASIC Miners, or if you don't want to do that, and make a decent comeback to pay your bill's... Just get AMD Video Card's(Higher Shader's = More Mining Power!)
But when it comes down to it, I suggest you do this... Don't mine bitcoin's, Mine LiteCoin's or something similar that has a better chance, bitcoin's are so hard to mine, it's literally pointless(I've mined a few times, hated it.)
Best Of Luck!
