ASRock B85 is that boards has multiple VGA slot ?
but looks like i will take this as a serious consideration ,
i have only bought 4 RX 480 sapphire nitro+ so far , not yet really ready to complete my rig as i have a limited budget  :D ,
thanks for your advice by the way .

Another good budget option for ZEC and ETH mining are the Nvidia 1060 3 GB cards for ~$220 or less. They can do ~260 H/s on ZEC and ~22 MH/s on ETH and only use about 60W of power each at 60% TDP. There is also much better availability than the RX series AMD cards.

some people say that Nvidia sucks at mining , is that true?
a lot of people recommend me to go for rx 480 for eth/zcash mining i don't know ,
i might have to try for the rx 480 as i have bought them currently ,
will report back here as comparison once i have fully made my rig.
