That is the rig I am thinking of building. I will be mining BTC, and most likely LTC due to the much more profitable mining (http://dustcoin.com/mining)

I will sell all the game codes (bar maybe one crysis 3 as I don't own that and it looks good Tongue). But yeah, do you think this looks good? I looked up the PSU usage and eXtreme calculator (http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine) recommended I get a 500W, so I think a 650W good branded bronze should be enough... idk how much it ACTUALLY uses though.

Also do you think its better to shaft one of the cards and perhaps try and find something like a 5850, or a 5970 for cheap on ebay?
The website I am buying from is aria.co.uk if you guys want to look at the case etc, But it looks decent and will end up having 4 120MM overall (2 are included) do you think this will keep it cool enough?

What do you guys think?

Thanks
