Hi everyone

I want to use the next configuration in a PC for mining ethereum. The motherboard, the cpu chip and the RAM memory are old but they were working, but the GPU and the PSU will be new. How can I know if there will be any compatibility problem between the GPU and the rest of the components? Can I damage the new ones if I try to use them together?

Old components:
Motherboard ASUS M2N-X PLUS
CPU AMD Athlon 64 x2
RAM 4GB DDR2

New ones:
PSU AEROCOOL KCAS 700W 80 PLUS (53A/+12V)
GPU XFX Radeon RX570 8GB DDR5 RS XXX Edition

Any comment will be helpful!

Thanks That motherboard I believe is PCI Express 2.0 and so BUS traffic between the video card and CPU/System RAM will be bottlenecked some. If you run a benchmark on the system once built with that video card you can look for the bottleneck in the data. If it under performs to others who have ran the same card, you can safely assume its the BUS bottleneck.

I use to mine and I have to say that its difficult to find a hardware solution to be profitable. Most of the people who are profitable with it are using shady methods of making the money where someone else is paying the electric BILL. There are online calculators that you plug in your power consumption and hardware specs and it shows average EXPECTED return and most BUILDS are in the red where your losing money running it. However if someone else is paying the electric bill it makes it profitable for yourself while your TAKING money from someone elses pocket who is paying the electric bill.

Those who are making money on it in lesser shady methods are those who bought into hardware specific for mining and as the hardware ages they sell the video cards used to recoup most of the money and use that to buy newer cards to keep up with the ever increasing complexity of the mathematical computation to finding the next coin. And those who are making money are usually part of a pool where for every coin found its shared among those in the pool based on how much computational effort you put into the groups pool, so you end up with a fraction of every coin found based on how much your system(s) contributed to the GROUP.
