Hi,

I am planning to build a rig for mining with the below components, Please shed your comments, feedbacks, thoughts on whether all components will be compatible with each other or do i need to make any changes to the components listed below.

If i need to replace any component from the below list then please mention what you will be recommending instead of the one that need to be replaced.

CPU: AMD 3.5 AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor

MotherBoard: MSI 970A-G46 or Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3

GPU (7950 x 2): Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 With Boost 3 GB GDDR5 (http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-hd-7950-3gb-gddr5-boost-3-gb-graphics-card/p/itmdfyygkk2zwpjk?pid=GRCDC2QTBPZHV8HQ)

RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) PC RAM (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9)

PSU: Cooler Master Thunder 700 Watts PSU

Not sure which cabinet i need to pick and as well. If you recommend this then it would be a great help.

Note: I will not be needing Hard Drive as i would be using Linux OS onto a USB Stick.

Please advice me on the above components.

Thanks in Advance

Memory works better if you use two sticks.

PSU is known to be not so good brand.
This is cheap 750w psu.

Good buy case now is this.

Look Asus PRO or EVO mobo. Gigabyte is good choice too. MSI I do not know so maybe someone know better is MSI good or not.

USB stick is not a good idea. So buy SSD or HDD.

AxlFone :

Thanks for your reply bro,

PSU: I will not be getting whatever the PSU you have mentioned in India, So can you please check this list and suggest a good one to handle two GPU's - http://www.flipkart.com/computers/computer-components/power-supply-units/pr?q=psu&as=on&as-show=on&otracker=start&sid=6bo%2Cg0i%2Cqbk&as-pos=1_1_ic

Case: I will get a cheaper one with good air flow. Thanks for your suggestion..I will look for this whether it is available or not...or else i will go for some good one which is cheap.

MotherBoard: I don't know which one to select as a best match..Can you please pick from this list here http://www.flipkart.com/search?q=motherboards&as=off&as-show=off&otracker=start#computers/computer-components/motherboards/pr?p%5B%5D=facets.socket_type%5B%5D=AM3+&p%5B%5D=sort=relevance&sid=6bo%2Cg0i%2Cy7i&q=motherboards&ref=e86bbe5c-f193-4cff-89eb-bfa0c7c1231e&_suid=139029920258202841842422059712
