- MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ 970 DDR3 2PCI-E16 SLI CrossFire 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 USB3.0 GBLAN Motherboard
- Corsair VS2GB1333D3 2GB 1X2GB DDR3-1333 240PIN DIMM Memory
- Corsair CX Series CX750M 750W ATX 12V 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply
$236 after PM and taxes.
I didn't buy a HDD or a case because I plan on running Linux off a USB thumb drive and running my computer out of a cardboard box. If you wanted to shave some more cash off, you can probably find a cheaper motherboard (above is 79.99).
With the above build, you should be able to run two GPUs. I'm looking at 2x 7950, which theoretically can yield 1200MH/s. Also, with a AM3 socket motherboard, you can easily turn your mining rig into a gaming desktop later on. |
You won't find any 7950 for a worthwhile price anymore, miners have already bought them all up. Your best bet is 7970's or R9 280x's
