Thanks for responding. I just got on minergate and want to mine Ether classic, Monero and Aeons. I thought those cryptonotes didnt like GPU and were geared to CPU so it could level the ASIC/GPU playing field? Im seriously friggen confused and desperately want to get into mining. I feel like every day that goes by Im missing out on the future. Which coins can a fast CPU (x5675) mine? I truly appreciate your feedback. I have the money, I just need to spend it smart.....thanks
