Personally, I would start with a motherboard that can accommodate at least 6 GPUs, a good power supply, and a single 1070 (or AMD if you prefer...depends what you want to mine). Build a solid foundation and you can add GPUs as you wish down the road. It doesn't have to be a monster miner all at once. Just get your feet wet with the simplicity of a single card and work your way up.
Im also thinking of buying a Z400 Workstation which can handle 4 GPUs so 4+2 = 6.
