Heres my specs: 750w corsair PSU Intel 15 2570k CPU Radeon HD 7870 Havnt mined for several months, and with electricity prices rising and bitcoin value falling in the UK, would I break even or make a profit still? I cant work out the exact power draw, mainly because ive no idea how without purchasing expensive external equipment!
I haven't looked into BTC mining in awhile, but if memory serves right, it hasn't been worth it in awhile on a BTC rig, let alone on a personal PC. This being said im sure you could probably break even.. but it really is not worth the time or effort unless you are completely obsessed with BTC
The purpose of mining is for you to earn virtual currency, but in your case, your system failed. Frankly speaking, you need to upgrade your system and mining machine especially that you're encountering losses. I read in an online bitcoin blog that once you enter mining, you have to invest on expenses as well as electricity expenses.
