Case profit will be low, It will gives you basic mining understanding only, but you can do it!

I have Corsair VS450 in a GXT 960 + GTX 980 (non OC) + i5-4570
ZEC mining is totally ok (up to 230 Sol/s with eqm_v1.0.2b_Win64 )
Cards are 65W+170W
As i see, it can be 2xGTX 1070, too (little less than 125W per one)
Also you can use undervolting 3xRX470.. (will be near 500 Sol/s with Claymore miner and floating from 60w to 135w per card)

But i can advise to look at, say, 4xGPU with 750W PCU
I'm use one GPU for gaming and other - for mining (other time - all for mining)

For 3 GPUs you can use any cheap MB with 1xPCI-E_16 + 2xPCI-E_1 (you will need 1to16 risers for PCI-E_1 slots)
Please spend little more, but take powered risers case MB wires can be unable to safely support PCI-E_1 by power
I'm use MSI MB.  (As a Gamer, you can look at MSI B150M GAMING PRO or Z170M MORTAR )
