Hi guys...
I've never built a PC before and I need some advice. I decided to build a rig and ordered the following parts:
Board: MSI 890FXA-GD70
GPU: 4 * Radeon 5870
Ram: 2gb
CPU: Sempron 140
And I intend to run it off a USB boot of Ubuntu.
What I need to know is:
1) What kind of PSU would suit this rig? I want to get one that is quiet (that is my priority) but also one that could support another 5870 if I decide to fill in the final slot on the motherboard. My second priority is that it needs to be cheap. And thirdly, it needs to be available via Amazon UK or Ebay. Would something like this 900W PSU be suitable?

I really don't know what I'm doing here and how to fit all these parts together. I don't know if I need any extra parts not listed?
So here I am as a newbie that would be grateful for any advice. Thanks for your help guys.
