I managed to get a nvidia gts 450, 680 sli mobo 3.0 ghz core 2 d cpu and coolmaster tower for 50$. And i have another 450 gts on the way.
The guy didnt want to fix it but all it needed was a fredh install of win 10, then found a gtx 750 ti [52$] to replace my 5850 radeon for lower tdp and now i can mine CHC so i can run a masternode later, currently obtaining a little over one CHC a day but its one day closer lol
Heres pictures of it all
The new pc may not be able to do much but hey! Its two more low power gpus to crunch with and two more cores,
The 5850 i believe was going bad causing the pc to crash, and ive had to turn off my 3 way sli gtx 285 on my other pc as it was crashing as well, but nethertheless im crunching #nfs

Its a great cause to support and you get rewarded with gridcoin/GRC
Mining chaincoin im currently figuring out which pool is better, yiimp, or enthusiasts.net both are pretty much the same with the statistics but i like enthusiasts because it reminds me of the old peercoin pool.
My 750 ti currently gets 3 mhz at 50+ msi afterburner and 18 intensity [might try to go higher, my heat is only sitting at 124 Fahrenheit] at 70% load for 40 +/- watts, so profitable but not much lol
Well see what i get in the future for pcs, imma try to get at least last year stuff but $$$$$ is the issue.
Well thanks for reading, have a great and steemtastic day.
