i can find everything at around 430 euro on amazon, risers on ebay

Amazon gives me a good price for this set up (I have 850W power supply)

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 (PC3-12800) 240-Pin UDIMM Memory BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00/BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00 by Crucial
$33.98

ASRock Motherboard ATX DDR3 1066 LGA 1150 H81 PRO BTC by ASRock
$72.09

Intel Pentium Processor G3240 (3M Cache, 3.10 GHz) BX80646G3240 by Intel
$58.94


Patriot Torch 120GB SATA 3 2.5 (7mm height) Solid State Drive - With Transfer Speeds of Up-To 555 MB/s read and 535 MB/s write by Patriot
$39.99

Subtotal (4 items): $205.00

Should I start from loading with 2 R9 390 and later add 2 more?

Is this card good?

XFX DOUBLE DISSIPATION R9 390 1015MHZ XXX OC 8GB DDR5 DISPLAYPORT HDMI DUAL DVI
$320

seems that the 390 is the best, but polaris is coming not sure if it is wise enough to buy gpu now

Polaris according to my country's local agent, their Hong Kong office mentioned Q3/2016 launch... so we may be looking at Sept...
On the other hand, those Nanos are also good because of its superb undervolting capabilities.... I am getting a few and would be doing Ellovp/Heliox's ROM mod.

With his mod, the R9s can do the following: 134 Mh/s @ 2.25A, 495watt (6 Cards) stock settings rom OR 185 Mh/s @ 4.8A, 1050 watt (6 Cards) 1020 Core, 300 Mem
Mining ETH is about racing against time (before POS) so you will lose a couple of mullahs if you wait for Sept. My 2 cents.
