Title: Setting up a beast: Dedicated server build ideas for crypto mining and gaming

Hey guys, I've been itching to setup a dedicated server for both crypto mining and gaming. Looking to build a monster rig that can handle high-end gaming and crunch through some serious cryptomining tasks. I've got a budget of around $5k to play with, what should I prioritize?

"Hey guys, I've had good luck with AMD EPYC processors for crypto mining. Pairing one with a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and 64GB of RAM will give you a beast of a machine for both mining and gaming, and it's definitely worth looking into."

"Dude, I'm loving the OP's ideas. I've got a similar rig going on, rocking a Ryzen 9 7900X and 24 GB of DDR5 RAM, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 TI. Currently mining ETH and playing some 4K AAA titles on the side."

"Hey guys, I'm actually running a similar setup at home - AMD 5900HX and 8x RX6900XTs, got me around 80 MH/s on Ethereum. The real challenge is keeping those GPUs cool, but it's worth it for the gaming and crypto mining performance. Anybody got any tips on liquid cooling?"

"Been running a similar build for crypto mining and I gotta say, AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X is a beast. Paired with a 3080 GPU, I'm clocking 90 MH/s on Ethash and my gaming rig is still silky smooth. Anyone got experience with custom liquid cooling setups for this build?"

"Hey guys, I've been eyeing the same build as some of you, the Ryzen Threadripper and NVIDIA 3090 combo. That thing's a monster for both gaming and mining. Anyone have any experience with the 3090's power draw, are we talking 650W or more?"

"Yooo, I've been running a dedicated server for crypto mining and low-key gaming, and I gotta say, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has been a beast. Paired with 4x Nvidia 3080s and 64GB of RAM, it's been crushing it on both fronts. Has anyone else tried this combo?"
