I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
In October of 2018, cryptomining does not seem like something worth making a compromise on that for.

You're still spending $200-300 to save 90mins to 2hours of work, though.

People say it doesn't take long and I guess in a relative sense it might still worthwhile, but I spent like 4 hours doing my build + 2-3 hours of watching other people on youtube and who knows how time spent reading so I wouldn't be nervous as hell doing it. Maybe I was overly cautious but I expect a lot of new builders will be the same. It isn't a nothing time commitment.

Were I to do it again then yeah I don't think it'd take long at all now I know what I'm doing, but without that experience it's different.

just so you know, there's a ti 1070 for the same price (after rebate) as this right now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076Q6HT34/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

or if you keep your eyes open you can find new 1070s for like $300 fairly regularly
