What's the solar panel for? You will be running 1,000watts or more, a 100watt solar panel won't power it..

You're probably going to want at least a 1200 watt power supply for 4x7950
Also you can get away with a really cheap Sempron for CPU.  I think a Sempron 145 is ~$40.


Well the Richland can act as another GPU as well, so I was told that it was better than just a cheap CPU.  Smiley
I'd check the estimated mining performance and power consumption of that before settling on it.  I don't have any experience using those AMD CPU/GPU processors for mining but feel like they may not be worth it.  That's simply my feeling though and not based on any research so you may be right.

Well, I got the suggestion from another forum member.  Who knows?  Smiley

Hello, fellow forum members!
I was planning to get into GPU mining but now it's pretty much obsolete.
I am still going forward with my rig but I will mine other coins.  Here's my proposed setup, how does it sound?

Rosewill Green Series RG530-S12 530W
about $55
Is this a good power supply?

2GB of RAM

4x AMD 7950 GPUs
about $320 each

1x AMD A10-6800K “Richland” APU
about $150
GPU and CPU!

1x 4 slot motherboard
about $130
Which one?

12x 100 Watt Solar Panel
about $200 each
(for a 1200 Watt power supply)
