Budget? BTW don't get the 9370 it's not really worth it. Get a 4670k it's a lot better. Don't need that big of a power supply neither get a 650w from XFX. It's a great build. I know nothing about cryptocurrency so I'm not sure about that but the R9 280x should get great framerates at high to maxed settings
