My first Mining Rig! What all do you need.
Step 1: Procuring the components of your rig. In this article I would cover only the components. We will discuss assembly in the next one. Stay Tuned! 

The prodigal son returns, an updated version of the RX 460/70/80 series and I was lucky enough to get the OC (over clock) version. We bought 4 of these.

#### Now it needs a RAM (6 GB is enough). A dual core Intel processor and a SSD card for memory.
 
#### You're good to go.

#### In the next post we'll unbox the items and learn to assemble it.
