If you use NiceHash, there is an option to have it start mining when idle, and stop when not idle. It's a little buggy, though. However, what I have found is that unless I am doing something graphics heavy (gaming, or image file manipulation), the 1080ti I have in my desktop has enough left over horsepower to allow me do work normally. The 1080 would be that way as well.

Yes, a 6 GPU rig would earn roughly 6 times what a single GPU rig would earn.

Finally, if I was starting out now, I would probably go with all 1070ti's for the GPUs. They seem to have the right combination of power, price-point, and predicted resale-ability that makes sens to me, as long as you can get them at a decent price. Amazon has 1070ti's for $465 right now.
