I have been wanting to build a dedicated miner for a little while now, and I figured I should post some questions so I don't end up wasting money and time.

When it comes to a GPU miner, do I need to worry about my CPU at all? Can I buy a cheap/non-powerful cpu and be perfectly fine? I would think so, but I am not 100% sure how exactly the miners work exactly, still trying to figure that out.
Also, a little off topic, is there a way to daisy-chain together GPUs for extra power? Or would I have to just use each one as a separate device mining (using GUIMiner)?

Thanks in advance

for bitcoin, just GPU. cpu and ram dont matter
buy the cheapest AMD cpu and 2GB ram and you should be fine.

for litecoin, I think cpu+ram play a part (small part) but it's still on the GPU

I figured as much, I just couldn't find enough info to support it on my own.
Thanks for the quick response
