a frame u can build on you own or buy some from amazon...

Intel are suggesting a 1-2 month dispatch delay for the G3900 Any recommendations?

Going for the Mobo: ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 S1150 Intel H81 2x DDR3 Motherboard,
Have heard is a good starting Mobo for mining

Also the SSD i am struggling to find identical model in the UK, is this ok to use?

If your going for that mobo, there are a lot of cheap i3s at ebay that can be perfectly match with that mobo also just buy the cheapest SSD with atleast 120gb. 60gb isnt enough when you fill those with different wallets. IMHO

Until the end

You will need to take cooling into consideration. If they are in a small, enclosed room you the room will get very warm. If there is a window in the room and the outside air is cool enough, set your fans up so that cool air is blowing over the rig. You can also set temperature thresholds so that the GPU clocks itself down if it hits a certain temp. Get yourself at least two box fans to provide airflow. If you are in a colder climate you can use the waste heat to help keep your house warm!

Install the graphics cards one at a time.

So i have decided to go for GPU instead of ASIC (Main reason being L3+ Availability 2nd reason if i dont get along with mining it can be easier to sell this equipment on)

Decided to go for....

5 ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
1 EVGA Supernova 1600w
1 EVGA Supernova 1300W
H81 Pro BTC R2.0??? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MOBO?

Also what else am i going to need to run this!

Software is fine getting win.10 and will get the mining programs from pools.

Is there anything im missing?

I am new to this and this will be my first rig, Should be picking most of the kit up on Monday.
