Hi Everyone.  I recently decided to join this forum after being a spectator for a couple of years. I was actively trading on LBC https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/indeskyz/

I was wondering if someone would be able to shed some light on a Scrypt based miner I am planning.  

Currently I own:
2 x ASUS R9 290x
Antec TPQ-850
APEVIA ATX-AQ700W-BK

I plan on getting:
AMD Sempron 145  
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
3 x HIS iPower IceQ X² R9 280x

My question is what kind of risers should I be looking at for this motherboard? I have heard so many conflicting statements about how I should get powered risers and another about how I shouldn't.

Also I believe I may need to upgrade one of my PSU's, most likely the APEVIA but wanted to check to see if I wouldn't have to shell out any more money.  

Although it would be fun to make my money back I have no expectations and am mostly doing this to learn more.  

Thanks for taking the time to check out my thread.
