as far as I know, other parts than GPU don't matter a whole lot (please correct if I am wrong here). I just bought the 7950 myself (2 in fact), and can say that it seems to be a very good card for mining Litecoins. I would just make sure that you can add a 2nd graphics card later if you want to. Take this into account with power supply considerations. Also I would say that your computer case is one of the most important parts. Temperatures of your graphics cards can rise a lot with mining, so you need a case which has good airflow. |
