Haha couldn't have fit just one more PCIe 1x slot? The B350 is supposed to support 6 PCIe 2.0 lanes. There's no M.2 and the excess USB 3.0 ports shouldn't use up 3 total lanes. Those power connectors seem really inconveniently placed too.
But yeah, GPU mining isn't really much of a thing anymore.

Newer cryptocurrencies have lower difficulty and with the inceasing focus on power efficiency from the GPU manufactuers GPU setups are viable again, not sure how long it will last though, i've been tempted to start mining again myself, I paid for my first rig with bitcoin that was years ago though.

I must respectfully tell those that say GPU mining is dead that you are very wrong. You don't mine Bitcoin with GPUs now, but there are allot of altcoins that are extremely profitable to mine right now.

I thought that GPU mining was dead and only ASIC machines were viable by now?
