Hey guys,

Looking to make my first build. Trying to line up 3-4 cards in one rig, got 1GB ram a single core processor, but need help figuring out which mobo ,psu and cards to get.

I was thinking either 6950 x 4 equaling around 1300 mh/s with locked shaders ( hopefully unlocking will yield 1600+) or 5830 x 4 yielding around 1200 mh/s. Calculating wattage a 1250 watt power supply should do the trick right? and I had two mobos in mind both have 4 or 5 pcie x16 slots. one here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130274&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_- and the other one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138193

Any recommendations would be great. In terms of cooling they will be housed in an industrial cooler so I should be able to push them a little bit via OC. Also, probably be running windows on this box to get started.
