A High End Video Editing Rig that also plays games on 4K Max, but does well with Crypto mining?

Hey guys, kind of a weird question here.

Considering building a rig, but it would have to be useful for more than just mining for me to go through with it I think. I'm actually a photographer/filmer by trade, so I really want it to be a solid 4K video editing machine. (Actually, being able to edit 8K Footage and do heavy VFX work, while a bit overkill for me at the minute, would be epic. I also want to play games in 4K on max settings.

But I also have a 3rd possible use for this machine. Mining Cryptocurrency (which I know almost nothing about, but I am intrigued and am trying to get up to speed).

So, main question I guess, is how much does a rig cost that is good at mining, and what is the return on investment? (I'm aware of power consumption issues etc.).

I guess what I'm asking is, if I build a 4-8gpu unit, and nail the other features, how much am I likely to average "per day" in crypto mining? (I totally understand that you think I expect $1000+ a day, but I don't. $50- $100 a day out of a $5000 machine that costs $5000 a year to run sounds great to me. Is that realistic?)

I stumbled across 2 articles that I am reading over:

I'm sure I'll research further, but...

1. Would a rig built with Mining as the PRIMARY goal service my other 2 needs? (Gaming and video editing, with editing being the most important other function).
2. The graphics card of choice above (Value for money) seems to be the GTX 1070. But a GTX 1080TI (at 2x the price) is better overall for gaming. So… Would running 2x 1070’s give me better gaming/editing performance than a single 1080TI? (Because it seems it would mine better).
3. Moving on to motherboards for a second, “The best mining motherboard” is the “B250 Mining Expert” from Asus. It supports up to 19 GPU’s. Is there any reason this motherboard won’t do well in a gaming/editing situation?
4. I don't know if it's possible to answer this, but assuming a GTX 1070 with a hash rate of around 30 mh/s, how much extra $ per day would each card earn?
5. A couple of the motherboards (Such as the Asus ROG Strix z270E) listed have comments like “Can also be used for gaming”. So what, the others can’t?
6. Back to gaming/editing, would running 3-19 GPU’s even work? I mean, that’s a shit tone of GPU’s. Would I be able to run everything at simply insane levels? Would 8K video work be a breeze?
7. Where the fuck do you get a case to put 19 GPU’s? Or even 4.
8. Is building the rest of the rig the same?
9. Finally, anyone here with mining experience? What’s your setup? How many GPU’s do you run?

Bonus: Can any of these mining rigs can be used as a Hackintosh?
