I Am planning to build a mining rig with from any of the below graphics card
Power Cooler 6950 x 2: m.flipkart.com/powercolor-amd-ati-radeon-hd6950-2-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmd5ynegrwyfhdd?pid=GRCD5YNDYZUJWHUG&otracker=search&pageNum=3

Sapphire 7950(Single card): m.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-hd-7950-3gb-gddr5-boost-3-gb-graphics-card/p/itmdfyygkk2zwpjk?pid=GRCDC2QTBPZHV8HQ&otracker=search&pageNum=1

which one should i prefer from above cards?

And also am planning to use a low end Cpu (AMD Sempron) with this rig as I will be using it entirely for mining purpose.

I am bit confused with the motherboard as I will be adding more gpu's if I choose a single card now. it can be in mid end.

Also help me to choose the good cooler and psu especially to support gpu as it will be running all the time and will produce max heat.

people have used this combo 7950 with sempron and yielded good results. I found from the hardware comparison list for litecoin mining https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison. You can see that in 7950. Let me know your thoughts

It depends on various factors that you are going tune it in cgminer..one will give 700Kh/s and other will give 600Kh/s..But can't assure you the exact numbers for the both the cards...

btw what's your rig config?
