I would definitly suggest running a scrypt coin, overall you will get more return.

I would stay way from PSUs with multiple 12V rails unless you know what you're getting into. This Corsair 850W (12V@70A) or 1050W (12V@87.5A) should be sufficient for 4 7950s and a low-power CPU. If you insist on that Bulldozer CPU, go ahead and pick up the 1050W. Unless my calculations are way off, the 87.5A on the 12V rail should be more than enough.

If you want to run all four cards on a single board, just get PCI-E 1x to 16x risers. It won't hurt your mining and makes choosing a board a lot easier as most high-end boards have 4+ total PCI-E slots. Heck, even mid-range boards have 4 PCI-E slots.
whats wrong with 12V Rails?Huh Oo

Hi, guys, thanks for replying.
well I'm using 8gb of ram i'll be making another system for mining. so i'll just split it, i'll use 2x4GB.
and i know about the mobo and cpu, what mobo do you guys suggest? The problem is, i can't find a good gigabyte or MSI board here which has 4x PCie16x.
and i know a riser cable is a must, i already know about that. and i'm not using a chasis for this system. It'll be open, i'll make a custom table/case for this later.
I just wanted to know if i use 4x 7950 on a 1250W supply (http://www.coolermaster.com.au/product.php?product_id=3143), will it be enough. cause it'll be running 24x7.

Hi guys, i'm gonna setup a mining rig. Here's my configuration. let me know if i need to change something.


Mobo: Asus crosshair v formula
cpu: Amd bulldozer 1850 black edition
gpu: 4 x sapphire 7950
psu: Real Power Pro 1250W (cooler master)
ram: 8GB


tell me if any of these is not compatible or have any other issue, i've ordered the gpu but i need to buy other stuff. mobo+cpu+psu+cpucooler, i'm getting these in a bundle from someone i know.
I think that 1250W won't be enough to run all 4 of these. anyways, tell me what do you think about this.
