I am wonder if it is possible to run 4 cards on a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard?

And if it is.. How would that work?

I know i would have to get powered risers and raise them up..
an adequate PSU
But is that it?

Just plug them in..
Install drivers on Win 7
and go?

Yes, you're exactly correct. You should use at least one powered riser or two to be safe. Also invest in a quality power supply with more than your minimum required wattage.
I exact have the same motherboard on one of my rigs with a Corsair AX1200. Just don't forget to disable any features on the mobo in the BIOS that you dont need (firewire, sound, etc.) to save a bit more power.

Looks to me like you could run 7 with the right adapters. Risers, a PCI -> PCIExpress converter and plenty of power. I find that multiple small power supplies are cheaper than one big one.
