Cheers

The lad I'm doing it with is running the 7970's already and is pretty clued up to it all so should go pretty smoothly, he's more or less built the rig from his experience / knowledge so fingers crossed.

Will be using risers yes, I ordered 4 of the XFX cards but it only came with two as they are out of stock now, so have had to order 2 x MSI ones from scan should be here tomorrow, The PSU's were the choice just down to a combination of cost, stock, efficently etc

We will be doing abit of litecoins yes, but he's also involved in other coins at the moment which are doing really well so will be abit of variation.

How are you doing from it?
