Is this a good Bitmining rig?

I used information from the Bitmining Wiki to come up with a good one. I would've have gone with 4 7990s (non-official), but it had 3 fans, and I'd rather not go with 4 internally cooled cards. Even though Windows doesn't read 8 GPUs, Linux can (at least that's what I've read, so people would run 3 or 4 6990s. The CPU is kind of useless in bitmining, it's just the GPUs.

Don't bitmine, its very cost inefficient and is just a waste of your money. And the more you (and everyone else) bitmines, the harder it is to mine for more. Think of it as an exponential growth of difficulty of mining. By now mining is useless and very inefficient and costly. 

If you love what you do, it's not work.
