Hi. I'm quite new to Bitcoin and crypto-currencies in general, but after weighing the risks and potential benefits, I've decided to go ahead and start LTC mining.

Here are the parts I've ordered:
PSU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703037
CPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103888
GPU- 4x http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009B6Y01Y
RAM- 4x http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231121
SSD- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171667
Mobo- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157280

I also ordered some risers and a bench style case.

So, I just have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer..
I found the consolidated LTC mining guide, are there any critical pieces of information I need that aren't in there?
I chose the 7970's mostly because the other good LTC mining cards were very hard to find, but is it possible that their mining performance will increase with better software/drivers?
Anything else that might be helpful?

Thanks for your time.
