I'm working on building a rig from scratch

here is what I think i want/need so far.... obviously missing parts (ive never built a computer but know computer baisics)

AMD Athlon II X4 3 GHz Processor $75

4x 5850

PSU 1000-1200 watts

some kind of open air case to put this shit in

Forget the case. It will only cost you extra money and prevent you from cooling as much as you need to.

Also you could make do with a $20 1Ghz processor if you are only using it for mining.

Go as large as you can afford with the PSU.

ya this would be strictly for mining. can the 1ghz handle 4x5850s? why are people buying that model if they dont need to?

i'll def forget the case

also what else is needed?
- processor
- GPUs
-PSU
-?
