I'm currently looking into building my own mining rig and i could use some advice on parts, a case, etc. I've been doing some research into this, and my budget is somewhere around 5-7K.
The biggest issue I'm having is finding suitable parts that aren't highly marked up.
For parts, I've currently chose these:
CPU/Mobo:

Any suggestions on a case, or swapping out the parts? Maybe somewhere to get like 7990s cheaper instead of those cards? (they're the only real ones I could find).
