What if I understand nothing? Making/buying a rig
#2
I have recommended this in the past as a nice barebones system: https://www.supermicro.com/products/syst...8GR-TR.cfm
For about $3k USD without the GPUs, you can spec it out with a nice set of dual Xeons, 32GB RAM, redundant power supplies, and a couple of SATA HDDs in a RAID (you could always add more RAM and HDDs later if needed), and it comes pre built for you. And it houses up to 4 founders edition cards.
As for GPUs, I would recommend the GTX1080FE or 1070FE. The 1080Ti I believe has just been confirmed to be coming from Nvidia, but no idea when.
One thing I would recommend, if possible, is if you are able plug each power supply into different wall outlets that are not on the same circuit. If you are on 220, it should be very efficient compared to 110 but you wouldn't want to overload any power outlets at your apartment.
