Any specific hardware recommendation to build a simplified Cracking Rig considering to start with one GPU and after that add as a minimum two or maximum four GPUs in the long term? I want to put together something that is easily compatible running Ubuntu 20 LTS with the primary goal of cracking mode 2500 hashes. Preferable Intel and Nvidia to fit in a Fractal Design D7 MidTower and ideally as silent as possible. The GPU or MB needs to be USB-C compatible with operating two LG 4K panels (24MD4KL-B). Looking at Nvidia RTX 2080 & Intel MB socket 1151 with intel 9th gen i7 or would one recommend lower-cost CPU, e.g. i3 without losing any cracking performance? Looking at a modular PSU Corsair HX1200i 80 plus platinum series. Ideally no water cooling in the build but a Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler and enough fans in the cabinet.
What would the ideal motherboard and components be?
And lastly, is it worth going for the 2080 Ti version or wait until any 3080 release later in 2020? Starting with a 2080 and then adding a 3080 should not be an issue having these operating together?
Thank you in advance,

- Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Founders Edition? Any reason why the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Ventus OS OC will be an issue or less optimal than the "Founders Edition" version?
- Motherboard?
- CPU?
- M.2 disk(s)?
- RAM?
