Your prices seem very high compared to what I payed to build a GPU miner few days ago. I built a 3 x RX 580 4GB rig for under $1000USD. https://steemit.com/mining/@chronogn/built-a-gpu-miner-gpu
Do you get cheap electricity? I don't see how you can get any profit unless you get cheap electric.

Thank you for the comment!:) Please consider this:

RX 580 has the same power consumption as GF 1080 (link)
GF 1080 makes +100% more profit (consuming the same amount of power) (check http://whattomine.com/)
GF 1080 cost only +64% more than GF 580 in my country (crypto fever drained the market from 480 and 580)
4 GB GPU RAM is already not enough to mine some coins

In my opinion GF 1080 is much more profitable, especially taking the power consumption, although it's more expensive to get. Besides:

all prices include 23% VAT (tax in EU)
it's hard to compare prices for PC hardware in Asia and Europe (you lucky guys:D)
this rig also will be able to mine on CPU with profit (thank you AMD for ryzens)

And your rig is pretty sweet, hand made case :)

Hey, thanks for the reply!
I'm just trying to get more ideas for my next miner build. I might go NVIDIA build for my next miner just to see the difference. The reason I went with 580 was due to lower cost and return on investment being only 4.5months.
But if I am going with NVIDIA, I would probably go with 1070 or 1070ti.
What made you want to go with 1080 compared to 1070? Everywhere I look, I don't see good reviews on 1080 for mining.
