"Graphics Cards (GPU) $1,200 to $1,600 I use four of the Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 at $400/ea or four of the Sapphire Radeon 7950 at $320/ea in each rig. This one with a stock cooler works also, and can be had for only $280 (after mail in rebate). One of the Amazon reviews for the $280 card, shows specific settings for Litecoin mining which is helpful. To answer the 7970 (~$420) vs 7950 (~$320) question, basically, the 7970 gets roughly 100-150 more Mh/s or Kh/s than the 7950 for higher hashing density per rig (see bitcoin mining hardware comparison and litecoin mining hardware comparison). I couldnt decide either and ended up buying both types for my rigs. Either card will work great in this mining rig build."

Welcome.

Hello back and a wave to everyone who said hello!

JimCGSavings:
hi there

superb advice and tutorial!
thank you!

I can afford to go for the 7970 rather than use 7950's, so I will probably try to get the highest hash out of my machine as possible!

My plan is , if it pays and starts to make money, I will make another rig by Christmas, thinking of building a new rig every 4 months (if the first is successfully) until I making a livable wage

and if it all fails, ill have some amazing gaming pc's!
