Hi All
Looking to get into this for a bit of fun, mining Litecoins BUT i have NEVER built a PC before !!!!
This is gear i have -
Powercolor Radeon R9 280X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (X3) - Powercolor Radeon R9 280X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [AXR9 280X 3GBD5-DHE]
EVGA SuperNova G2 1000W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply - EVGA SuperNova G2 1000W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply [120-G2-1000-XR]
Intel Celeron G1610 2.7GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM - Intel Celeron G1610 2.7GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM [Intel Celeron G1620]
Kingston HyperX Blu 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Single Channel Kit (KHX1333C9D3B1/2G) - Kingston HyperX Blu 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Single Channel Kit (KHX1333C9D3B1/2G) [KHX1333C9D3B1/2G]
Akasa AK-CC7118HP01 K25 Low Profile CPU Cooler - Akasa AK-CC7118HP01 K25 Low Profile CPU Cooler [AK-CC7118HP01]
I also have a spare 64Gb SSD drive and a copy of Windows 7 Home 64 bit.
Anyone done/doing this ? I plan on just plugging the 3 cards direct into the board ?
I am TOTALLY confused with the use of 'jumpers/extenders' for the graphics cards... I can see i jave 3 PCI-E x16 slots BUT how could i add extra cards ?
Looking to get either of these MB -
