I'm not sure if this is specific to Asrock H81 Pro BTC R2.0 motherboards or others, but I thought I'd share my problem and the solution I found while building my new mining rig.

It appears that with Windows 10 Build 1709 the IRQ or memory allocation broke the resource management of multiple GPUs, in my case only 3 of the 4 1070s were working in Windows. I could see the error in Device Manager for one of the cards and gave a code 12 ("This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)"). It was okay with Build 1703 so those people with automatic updates and an Asrock H81 Pro BTC R2.0 could be affected.

Lots of info in this thread on bitcointalk but the gist is a simple registry edit fixes the problem:

"make new key "HackFlags" as (DWORD 32) type value 600 as (Hex) in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PnP\Pci\

and reboot."

Not sure what else it does but it certainly makes all my GPUs available for mining now. Just thought I'd share.

Processor: You can buy the Celeron G470 to any higher end Intel processor you can use in the mining rig set up. Other components you mentioned really good specification to start the mining rig. Since you splitted the SMPS into 850W and 550W you will find the power points in the SMPS more numbers than you needed.

MotherBoard: You can have Biostar TB250-BTC PRO Motherboard to Offer 12 PCI-E slot motherboard to have the maximum 12 numbers of cards can be added to the board with the PCIE riser package. If you make the aluminum or wooden mostly you can step upto 12 cards in the rig so it would be best option for you.
Maximum you can 19x PCI-E slot motherboard also available in the market. Its your choice to check according to your preference in that.

False. It does since the 1709 update.

yes, Celeron series G was enough.

RX470 has TDP 120 W x 5 = 600 W,  RX570 has TDP 120 W. I suggest get PSU, EVGA 1200 W
