I think he meant the CPU plotter.

looks good, but why not get a better GPU and plot with that? Maybe a slightly lesser CPU and better GPU? Go AMD and lessen the price of the CPU, still get 8 cores and get a 270X to plot with. IMO.

what is Sony PetaSite ? how interesting, never heard of... some gigantic disk ?  

I better hurry up mining ...

After you end with plotting you don't need GPU for mine so faster CPU is better for sure. You wont need 64GB ram for mining but for plotting going to be good.  With Core i7-5960X i think your limiting on plotting speed is going to be HDD speed for write not CPU vs GPU so maybe you can group HDD in few raids 0 for better overall transfer speed.

TBH pc you plan to buy for burst is way to good

I thought on win 7 the the ram usage is ZERO now like in win 8.1?

Hi
Is there another HDD mining coin similar BURST?

Holy cow, BURST was voted second in this competition, https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1000833.0 voted ahead of really big coins like ripple. Burst is poular and has widespread acceptance, we'll mob the floor with most other much higher marketcap altcoins.

With this kind of end user support, burst marketing department might consider doing a campaign for voting burst into some more exchanges - that might allow more traders to be able to trade burst.  

When you mine, you also need RAM. On my setup, each miner needs 700 to 1000 MB, depending on stagger size (higher stagger seems to need more RAM). On my setup, each miner can do one harddisk, so basically i need to have 1GB * number of disks RAM free when the system is running, before mining is started. Plus some RAM for the wallet. I'm on Windows 7 on one of my pc's and its 24GB ram seems to work okay with 4 * 4TB disks. With Windows 10 the need for extra RAM on top of the 1GB per miner is a lot smaller, windows 7 has a problem with lots of concurrent file reading, it fills up its RAM and page file with file cache data, and starts eating system and process RAM and crashes itself eventually.  If you are building something, consider using windows 10. I have two windows 10 boxes mining away, and they run pretty smooth for now, but I have had a few weird issues not related to burst - Windows 10 is stil beta after all.  Much less issues with Windows 10, than Windows 7 though - Windows 10 manages its file read cache a lot more effectively.

Windows 10 when released will be free if you have an existing windows licence (as far as i understand it) but the current test versions seems not to concern themselves a lot about older licenses, ive installed windows 10 on a totally wiped SSD and that worked out fine.

There is also a well functioning burst stack for linux, but i have not had the opportunity to test it, so can't really comment on that.

So basically, the set up I'm looking at will do the job?

@ haitch
are you using windows 7 ? cuz that is what all this talk is about?

all I wanna know is IF win 7 uses with the latest blago miner as much ram as any other OS eg. win 8.1 10
