I wrote this last week and updated it with available parts two days ago. It has a budget-friendly approach as well as a higher priced suggestions. You can modify it as needed to fit your budget by getting less card and a lower PSU if needed.

Hey, so Im looking for either a recent relevant post or information on what I would need to purchase (besides GPU's) to build a GPU rig, Im pretty newb with computers, I know ill need a Power Supply, CPU, RAM, and the GPU's other than that though, I am sort of at a loss as to what I should buy from there to make sure I have success when it comes to my ALT mining machine.
Consider your budget, if you're on a tight financially choose AMD's they have a great hashrate's on specific coins when modded, however if budget is not an issue, go for GTX, they are way more flexible on mining coins but a way more higher in terms of pricing.
Consider also your Rig design, locations for temperature management and power house.
I'm sure you don't want to caught fire when mining.
Wowsers! What will you plug all of those components into? Don't forget, your OS cannot be stored in RAM.
