Hey guys, I'm about to build my first miner but I want to also be able to use it as a gaming PC if needed. Please check out my build and tell me what you think. Thanks!

Case: Cooler Master HAF X (I don't want an open case and this has really good reviews and supposedly great airflow.)
CPU: An old Phenom II X4 925 2.8 GHz (Who cares anyway Tongue)
HDD: An old WD 500 GB (Again, who cares Tongue)
RAM: 4 GB old G.Skill DDR3 1333 (Old stuff again doesn't matter.)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 (I would have gone with the UD3 but this one has a better PCI-E slot config in case I wanna throw a third old GPU in.)
PSU: Corsair AX850 Gold (Good Corsair quality, and has 3 6-pins and 3 8-pins for my GPU's.)
GPU: HIS HD 7950 IceQ X² 3GB (Will be upgrading to two of these soon, this one had great reviews and supposedly awesome temps for OCing even though its an HIS.)

Wish I could post in the hardware forum Tongue

Thanks man! I would have picked one of those out of case exhausting cards but they all had bad cooling and this one had superb cooling. I definitely considered it though.
