This isn't the time to invest in a gpu rig

So it is time to wait and see what happens next ? Or wait for tha ASCI ?

You're going to make about 50 cents a day with a rig like that.

MAYBE you would see a btc in 20 days with 3 x 7990



What should be a minimum configuration for a startup mine which can get 1 btc a day  atleast ...

Consider searching for used GPUS, I got myself a used 5870 for ~160$. I you can't find any I'd say the 5850. But frankly for 350$ you should be able to get a 7950.

Edit as for the rest of the components
-cheapest CPU you can find( can be a celeron or sempron) and a resonably priced motherboard
-a 380W-430W 80+PLUS Bronze or Gold power supply made by Seasonic/Kingwin/Super Flower
-any hard drive.

Ok. What should be minimum ram for this ? and any version of Windows should work ?

Please give your suggestions with the PC configuration I should go with to start the BitCoin mining rig.

You can use http://www.coinchoose.com/ to help you decide. It shows you profitability of many altcoins vs. bitcoin.

coinchoose is a good site. Thanks for sharing !
