Hello everybody. I've been roaming these forums for a while, but I'm glad to finally be posting something! I apologise if this is posted in the wrong place.
I'm hoping to get into the litecoin mining scene and I'm looking for the parts for my first rig. The trouble is, a lot of the guides I'm following use components ordered from Amazon US, so I'm trying to get the corresponding parts from Amazon UK. I was wondering if anyone could please help me decide on which power supply and which cpu cooler/fan I need.
I'm planning on using 3 Radeon R9 280X GPUs. Do I need a 1250 W power supply? Or would 850 W be enough? I don't know much about power supplies and there's a few Seasonic 850 W supplies on Amazon and I'm a bit overwhelmed. Does anyone have any particular recommendations? Ideally I'd like as cheap as possible, but I don't mind shelling a bit more for quality.
As for cpu coolers/fans, I'm really in the dark. My CPU is an AMD Sempron 145.
Thank you very much for anyone who can help me out. I really appreciate it. Here is a list of my planned components so far:
Motherboard
CPU
GPU (x3)
Memory
Many thanks again! I also welcome opinions on my other components
