You are going to need Powered Risers for this setup as well. Why?

1) You have more then 3 cards on your board
2) They won't all fit on the board due to thickness

should work good.... make sure they are out in the open,   or build an open air case


He'll need a new motherboard to support 4 GPUs.  Those bump in price.

To my knowledge, the linked motherboard can support 5 GPUs

How does that make sense when it only has 3 PCIe x16 slots? And you have 4 GPUs that take up 2 slots per GPU. It's just not gonna work.

Are you unaware of 16x to 1x risers? How do you think some people are running 6 GPU setups?

I can't find 7950's anywhere at all =\

Instead, I upgraded my # of 7850's to four. Should produce between 1200 and 1700 KH/s. What do you guys think?

once you have a bunch of cards pumping out heat....  you'll wish it was 620khs per 7950,   instead of whatever the 7850 gets... maybe 325khs?

Yes 7950s would definitely be a better miner but that's not to say that 7850s are bad! Just that they're not as good. Tongue

I think the ram deal was on the Canadian Newegg only, and it looks like it JUST went out of stock, I bought mine on Sunday and it arrived today. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157262

Aw man, I don't see a 4gb ram deal! Guess I got there late, oh well. I actually downgraded the power supply quite a bit and I'm probably going to get 4 7850's now.

Yup that will work just fine. Smiley That power supply is actually overkill but that gives you room to grow. I just bought the same motherboard and CPU. Installed all the components tonight, Windows is updating as I type this. I bought the motherboard from Newegg.ca and I got free 4 GB of RAM with it. Cheesy You don't need more than 4GB for litecoin if you're using CGMiner.

Hey guys, I'm trying to build a litecoin mining rig (sorry if this is the wrong place) and I want to make sure that these parts will work together. Thanks for any feedback or suggestions!
