you can safe a bit on the CPU and CPU cooler, possibly the money to buy risers.

I was reading that you should make sure to get a good cpu cooler, cause having 4 cards would just destroy the stock cooler.

Since i got hooked by btc/ltc every thread about it pops into my eyes.

Sadly i don't have money for hardware and my GPU is from nvidia. so count me in for the 7950 donation list.

I wish I was rolling in so much money to give everybody a 7950. Maybe WHEN (not if) I win the lottery, I will give you a 7950

Until then a 7950 is probably antique and worth a lot more than today!
