so i started buying parts for a rig im building this is what i bought:

Is there a better or different motherboard i could get?

Motherboard: Asus P9X79-E WS
Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2650 2.0GHz 8 Core Processor, 20MB Cache, Sandy Bridge EP Socket 2011 with Thermal Grease
Ram: Avexir Core Series (Blue LED) 8GB Kit (2 x 4GB) Dual Channel 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Module AVD3U16001104G-2CW
Power Supply: Evea G3 1000w
Risers: 6-Pack V006 PCI-E 16x to 1x Powered Riser GPU Adapter

Thats about $650 without any cards.....? good choices?

It would be nice to have a list of hardware lol

But its sounding like i should get the RX 460's and get all my money back in 2 months then maybe sell them and get better ones.......but is the equipment above good to do that with or could i have bought cheaper equipment up to too?

Ive never heard of that mobo but on doing some research, it is listed on ebay for nearly 300$, dont spend that much on a motherboard. you should probably get an msi z170a, either the msi z170a-pro or the gaming m5, they are 120$ tops, also couple them with a g3900 processor (55$) and a 4/8gb of ram, that's about 200-230$ for the mobo/cpu/ram and with the evga that's less than 400 total with the risers, spend more money on cards and less money on the motherboard.

So what power supply should i get?
And are you saying all of that above then get 4 or 5 RX 460's?

Also, what does everyone do about an operating system? Buy a hard drive and install windows 10? Just install Linux?
