Some pci raisers might be needed there to get some space between the cards otherwise it will run on the hot end even with a fan.

Other than that it looks good. You thought about pools or coins yet??

Yeah. I should be able to get enough spacing between the cards with up to 2 cards (1st and 3rd PCIe slots). I'll order the raisers when I plan to add more. Do you agree, or would you recommend the raisers even with 2 cards? In any case, I won't need them now since it will be a month at least, till I get my second card. So I have some time to order them. I'll have to get them from China. I don't think they are available locally.

I've decided that I'll spend the first month manually switching pools based on readings from coinwars and other such listing websites. This should give me some experience, as well as a brief idea about the earning potential. I'll distribute my mining between some low difficulty coins like Doge, World, Meme, etc., then trade on an exchange against LTC or BTC. Doge seems to be going strong for now, so I might even hold on to some of them.

I'll give middlecoin and some of the other auto-switching pools a shot, and compare the performance against the first month results.

By this time, ideally, I should be in a position to upgrade my system again and rework my strategy.

What do you think?
