I've seen lots of Newegg shopping lists and it's fair to say they are a help but not always so relevant to the Euro market.
This is what I'm thinking of buying to put together my rig and just looking for some comments/suggestions.
I'm shipping them to Finland so if anyone knows any better stores that will ship here feel free to link to products in them
( I think there may be some German stores which do but I've never heard of them I've tried one of the dutch or belgian computer stores but no luck and Finnish stores are more expensive than UK for sure)
MotherboardThis is where I'm not so sure about some things. I understand it needs to have four pci-e slots if I'm to run four graphics cards off it.
What I'm not 100% sure is so they all need to be x16 slots or will a card with 2 x16 and 2 x8 or x1 slots work?
For example will this board work

Just a note or two, I realise I've only included 3 GPU's in my list, I'm working with a budget of 700 Euro and would like to build a rig that will allow me to add an extra card easily when I get a bit of cash to do so and I can see the motherboard being at least 150 so if that was the case I would be coming in at just about 700.
