As I have been looking at the SATA discussion for quite a while now, would you link me some risers wich are good enough then?
Also, people keep advicing to buy other wires for my PSU to directly power the risers from the PSU, but what about the fact that there are no more places to put those cables in? Got this PSU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KYK1CKI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
edit: and where to get those cables actually? Is it safe to buy them kinda evrywhere?
I just bought the cheapest intel celeron frys had locally. I used a basic HD I had laying around. Currently I do not have a case. I have the MB literally sitting on the MB box on my floor. PS sitting next to it. I am about to do a DIY wooden case. I see NEWEGG has this I am considering... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7GT52V4358&cm_re=mining_case_1200-_-9SIA7GT52V4358-_-Product
I only purchased an 850W EVGA power supply but it was about $130 on amazon... the 1200W is $300 https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-PLATINUM-Crossfire-220-P2-1200-X1/dp/B00KYK1CKI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1501737828&sr=8-3&keywords=1200w+power+supply
They are using a BLADE server powersupply with a converter so it can power 6 GPUs.
I am using UBUNTU 16.04. It works like a champ. Lots of videos on You tube to config.. Easy to make a bootable USB and get it going. Then DL nicehash . Setup a Bitcoin Wallet. Watch a video.. easy to get going too.
Once it works for one GTX GPU, all you have to do is shut down and plug in another card. Edit your start.sh file to tell it you have 2 GPUs and you are making 2x the cash.
It is a little addictive... Be careful. Good luck. JAMIE
Or I can get it brand new from Amazon for $375 with free shipping...
The 1200W P2 you’re selling is cheaper on Amazon.
$1,500 plus a new PSU for many of us. I went a little overkill at 1200W but you need quite a bit of power with these new cards.
Depending on your budget I would consider these.
Hook up all 3 GPU to the same power supply.

So this is ok?
And would there be any benefit to upgrading to this 1600W?

Well if you wanted to use most of your budget for a powerful, efficient PSU which is well future-proofed, I'd go with the EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2. $285 on Amazon right now but EVGA's site lists it at $275. 1200W gives plenty of power for potential SLI in the future.
But if you weren't interested in SLI and would rather not spend more than you need to, I'd go for the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 P2. 650W is perfect for what you have with a bit of headroom to spare for some overclocking if you like, and saves you a lot of money over the former PSU.
Both are full-modular, 80+ Platinum certified, and backed by a 10-year warranty.
