Thanks to all for your reply, i do appreciate your comments.
i think am not late yet as there is gonna be coins to mine even if ethereum goes POS. I believe ETC won't follow eth for POS.

Please is anything missing i didn't include that is necessary?
will all these listed perform well as expected?


Well since you have CPU and CPU cooler listed separate i guess they don't come together... You can maybe try to find some used celeron that will sell with a cooler. And for MB if you plan to have max 4 cards it should be fine but if you plan to expand later better go with board with 6 connectors. And PSU with aliexpress..... hmmm well idk i would't trust them with something like that.
