from what I have read your are better off with the Radeon 7950's (as they can be had a little cheaper, use less power than the R9 2xx series cards but use the same GPU as these cards)

I am also fairly sure you will want to go with an intel chip, (very low end Celeron) as they have better power management.

Power supply. your going to want the most efficient you can get as this baby will be a huge part of weather you get your ROI
I suggest looking for 80 plus PLATINUM (not gold) rated PSU's as they are even more efficient.
