Guys, I've $1600 to spend, out of which $1200-$1300 will be spent upon graphics cards only. In remaining $300-$400, I've to get the full computer system (along with the PSU), trying to make the remaining computer system maximum cheap by the way.

Please recommend me the preferred configuration.

Why are you starting multiple threads? Your questions are all about you so one thread is more than enough.
There is always ongoing discussion of the questions you asked. You could learn a lot more by reading
instead of asking for personalized service.

Multiple? Well this is a second one... I realized what you said right after creating the second one, but honestly, I didn't close it because it can help the ones who are having this question at the moment.

Take my reference setup :

-Intel G1820
-ASRock H97 Anniversary
-HyperX Fury 8 Go
-WD 120 Go (or something like that)
-Lepa MaxBron

You're under 300$ with that ! I think it can be more optimised again if you take 4 or 6 Go of RAM but I wouldn't try given the low discount you would get.

I would go for the EVGA 1000 or 1300. A bit more price wise but can be reused for other purposes without fear of them going bad.

rmi series is also very good, it come with the corsair link which i find useful to check the maximum voltage for each new algo without connecting a wattmeter each time

and yes it's 100% accurate, a wattmeter it's a thing on the past already

Motherboard ASROCK PRO BTC H81

CPU: Intel Celeron/i3/i5

Risers as many as you get

It's less than 1600$

Those guys are the ones that invent problems to make sure that no PSU is ever perfect. I, as an enthusiast miner, find them pretty reliable and price valuable.
