Hi, guys! I'm not sure weather I should start a new topic or continue here?
Anyway, I'm planning on build a mining rig and I just want to make sure everything I'm going to buy makes sense.
I want to see if mining makes sense for me so I'm going to start with one 290x and I'll add two more 290x if mining is for me. If it isn't I will use this as a gaming rig (with a few upgrades of course). I'm planning on waiting for a non-reference design, which I hear will be announced at CES. For the motherboard I want it be able to fit three 290x without having to use a PCI Express riser. This motherboard seems like it can handle that ASRock 990FX Extreme3?
So to summarize...
CPU- AMD Athlon II X2 340
RAM- Corsair Vengeance 8GB (I picked this so it will be easier to upgrade to 16gb for gaming, I know I don't need 8gb for mining)
MoBo- ASRock 990FX Extreme3
GPU- one-three 290x non-reference
PSU- AX1200i Modular 80 PLUS Platinum
HDD- My old Seagate Barracuda
Thanks in advance!
