So i've decided after making my money back on my graphics card, and the fact i'm selling my current 7950 and rest of the computer i use for mining, I'm going to build myself a dedicated mining computer. I have a $750 budget for all of the component not including the GPU's, the Peripherals, or the monitor. 

 

Here's what i'm thinking:

Would there be any issue with me using more than one PSU? I'm thinking no. I know how to jump them. The only issue i could think of is more power delivery? 

 

I'm not sure though. 

 

I think it looks good... The only reason i chose an APU is so that i can hook the monitor up to it, and still have the ability to run things on the screen, and change settings. The GPU's i plan to use are 5x R9 280X Dual-X OC Edtion, the cards have a TDP of 250W, and output 614Kh/s. So by my math that PSU should be more than enough. However i want some breathing room. 

 

How does it sound?

 

Thanks

Looks ok to me.

Using 2 power supplies should also be fine, but I don't know that you'll even need it for 5 cards
