Trying to set up Vertminer but to no avail.

Hello, I have no experience with mining and I need to know how to set up Vertminer.
First up I have a Gigabyte R9 280X in my system atm and I'll put the second one in after I get Vertminer sorted out. I'm running Win 7 64bit.
I have v0.5.2 of Vertminer and I need some help on how to set up the config file and then how to set the rest up. I'd like it very much if some of you could share what's in your config file and what hashrate/s you get too.
If you can I'd also appreciate a link to a good guide but I'd be happier if you could explain it. Thanks if you help me out.
Cheers!

Hi, I am wanting to get into mining and I have $1,200 to spend strictly on GPUs. I was thinking of getting 5 R9 270Xs, that's actually about $1,150 and 3 R9 280Xs which is about $1,100. I'd just like to know what is the best config of GPUs for $1,200, I don't have any heat or electricity limitations, only the power draw of max 1000W-1050Ws.

Join a little too late, difficulty is too high for the rig to earn itself back, use it for gaming.
Too late? How? I would be able to get 2.8MH/s with the 6 270s.

you need powered riser cables as well...
Why is that? The 270s have a 6-pin power connector, that is enough, isn't it?
then how you plan to attach them main board??
you also dont buy 270s
buy 2-3 280 will do same performance
With the risers, did you even check out the second link? I'd like to see some hash results from the 280 if you don't mind, I'll check it out.
The R9 280Xs are going for $385 here, and only get to max 800KH/s, 270s though are $220 and reach 450KH/s-480KH/s. Idk what to go for :S.

Hi, I'm going to be purchasing these items:

and
http://postimg.org/image/opecystyb/,
and I was hoping to get some help on how to set up the mining software after I install Ubuntu. I'll mine on multipool as I don't really want to be manually changing coins. Btw I already have an ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer so I'll use it in the rig. I also need some help on how to get a frame, I can't really make one as I don't have the materials or equipment. Could you suggest a frame to get or something I could just whip up to work?
If you help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
Cheers!
