So i have decided to go for GPU instead of ASIC (Main reason being L3+ Availability 2nd reason if i dont get along with mining it can be easier to sell this equipment on)

Decided to go for....

5 ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
1 EVGA Supernova 1600w
1 EVGA Supernova 1300W
H81 Pro BTC R2.0??? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MOBO?

Also what else am i going to need to run this!

Software is fine getting win.10 and will get the mining programs from pools.

Is there anything im missing?

I am new to this and this will be my first rig, Should be picking most of the kit up on Monday.

Beast cards, great for mining

You also don't need that much wattage. Just get two 850W Gold / Platinum PSUs.

I also wouldn't use that mobo. It's bios isn't updated as much and don't expect that much support. It's only 6 PCI-e lanes, and there are tons of other mobos that have 6 PCI-e lanes.

Also you need, CPU, RAM, SSD/HHD and cable risers.

Should i change the PSU to 2X 850W? I want to upgrade my rig to 8 GPU one day would it be worth throwing the extra in now for 1600W or go for 2 850?

Generally 2 smaller PSU instead of one huge PSU are cheaper -> faster ROI. If you can get the 850W at Platinum grade vs the 1600W at Gold grade it's a no-brainer.

For the smaller PSU, they do not have enough PCIE power cable. So check before you order.
