Hi there,

I am trying to built the 'base' of my rig and i run into some questions that i cant find an answer.

I am planning to built a total of 6 x 1070s mining rig. I will try to start with 3 and then add more if i find a good price for the cards.

I am trying to select a psu that will hande 3 gpus and i am bit confused about how to select it.

I have come across to a reasonable priced seasonic psu:
https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90703312/seasonic-prime-focus-modular-80-plus-gold.asp

Does that psu hase enough pcie slots to power 3 gpus? My understanding is that this psu has 2x PCIe 8pin and 6x PCIe 6pin  so i can connect up to 2 1070s gpus (i think they require 8 pins). Is that correct? Cant i connect a 3rd gpu somehow?

Moreover the risers will be connected to the 6 pins so it has enough slots?

Finally is my base rig ok for future upgrades (6 cards) or compatibilty with future nvidia or amd cards?
