No way are you running 4x 7970's on your AMD mobo. Not gonna fit unless you dangle them and use PCIe data extender cables.

Very very few mobos will actually fit 4x dual-wide GPUs.

the ud5 will do 3 dual slot cards , the 4th was going to be for my a8 machine to replace the on chip 6550

i found one board that will do 4 dual slot cards but it wasnt worth the extra 125$'s

If I can offer any advice, if I were you I would seriously consider a full case for your hardware. Speaking from my own experience with dealing with mid sized towers and smaller it is incredibly frustrating to route and maneuver parts and pieces in a smaller case (my hands would scream at you to heed this advice ).

The modest increase in price vrs the ease you will have with cooling and install will be more then worth it. Though I don't know your space situation so this may be a moot point.

Rosewill THOR V2

im sticking iwth the amd setup , ud5 and 9590 fx on the way
holding off on gpus right now trying to find the best deal possible on them

since im not up on the intel stuff

You forget AMD uses fake cores. Your 8320 is really only 4 cores. Here's a benchmark comparison though: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare....cmp[]=2275

Of all processors in existence, including server CPUs, the FX-8320 is ranked as the 130th most powerful. The 4790K is 37th

The 36th is an Intel Xeon E5-1650 @ $610. Take the 4790K :nod:

Edit: also the FX-9590 is 45th.

lol u already looked it up u got me with the ninja edit lol

DrPop has one of those Thor V2 cases and seems to like it pretty well. Definitely alot of space for the money with excellent cooling. As for the 9590, glad you aren't paying for electricity You did notice the 4790K is ~30% faster thread for thread using less than half the power? Just thought i'd point that out lol

Though saving money on the CPU to spend on GPUs will definitely get you more credits/day.

yeah im glad as well , i just bought 20 antminer s1's power bill would be killer on those. hell id prolly just cringe at the power the new pc is going to use
now i just cant wait till everything arrives and i can get it together and running, when i built the 8320 machine i didnt excepct to build a new pc for some time , but atleast now i can retire the a8 machine and let the wife have it as shes getting sick of the laptop

Problem is, by the time you've got all those AntMiners and other hardware hooked up, you'll need to get the main power feed to the building upgraded to handle it all!
