please a little help for a first-time builder-
I am trying to put together a 5x R9 290 rig and am very torn on which motherboard to purchase. Is there any general consensus? I'm not looking to overclock, or squeeze every last ounce of Kh/s from the cards, and I don't want to mess with jumpers, bios, very much if ANY.
I just want the closest thing to plug in and mine -cheaply.
I came across this post-
http://www.coinminingrigs.com/how-to-build-a-6-gpu-mining-rig/-which recommends the MSI Z77A-GD65 Z77 DDR3 1600 LGA 1155, and I'm getting ready to order it from Amazon unless there is something better.
Can someone recommend for a first-time builder? I'm just following that guide but not convinced it's the correct option.
(Should I be looking at Haswell? )
