m.2 riser card

Using risers, the max will be 4.
Technically the answer 4 is correct, but you will need to use really old GPUs to plug into the PCI slots. Modern GPUs all use the PCIe slots.
So the practical answer is that you will only be able to use 2 GPUs.
I have a asrock970 Extreme3 R2.0 that im looking to use a a mining rig it says 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (PCIE2 @ x16 mode; PCIE4 @ x4 mode)
- 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots
- 2 x PCI slots
- Supports AMD Quad CrossFireX™ and CrossFireX™
Right i have 2 ATI AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series (XFX Pine Group) looking to add 3 or 4 more on this motherboard.
HOW MANY GPUS can I USE ON THIS MOTHERBOARD?
this is what i have that im looking to make a miner out of and add GPUS

you need to figure out what your doing if your gaming or mining, tbh since your being such a noob build yourself a dedicated mining rig instead of trying to build a rig that you mine and game on like some fool. this is a mining forum not a gaming one we don't give a shit that you play games
this is what i want to build but wanna start with 2 to 3 1070's, i wanna be able to play most games that come out i will have a 6 card frame

go on youtube and snoop around ,there are a few great youtubers giving great advise on rig setup , mining tutorals and just miners talking about mining in general, cheers.
You need to do some more research into dedicated mining rigs before spending that kind of money. Check out a couple guides on www.myfirstminingrig.com or YouTube (lots of idiots on there so be careful) and you will learn some useful stuff that will help you determine how much you need to spend before looking for GPUs.
4x RX 570?
IF SO WOULD I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING MORE? I THINK I HAVE 750 WATT POWER SUPPLY

Might want to buy a new keyboard while you're at it, your CAPSLOCK key seems a bit sticky.

what upgrades as far cards would work on my current specs what would be the best 4 amd cards i can by based on these specs?
I'd start buy buying good cards first.
Yes they are old, making about 1.75-2.00 plus on nice hash with the 2. looking to build a rig that can make between 6 to 10 bucks aday. overtime i wanna build a mining/gaming system.
I PLAY COUNTER STRIKE MAINLY
What would should be my first upgrade motherboard/cpu?
or
add gpus to this motherboard/cpu?
budget build 1400 start adding cards over time
