I'm planning to buy a AMD R9 290 for mining (I think no Bitcoin...maybe Litecoin) but I have a trouble: may I'll have problems with my motherboard (Sapphire Pure White E350)?
Slow CPU (1.6 GHz) and PCI Express 2.0 can impact on hashing rate? Bottlenecks?
Thanks for reply

P.S. OS is latest Ubuntu server distro, PSU is ok (OCZ 750w), case ok (a huge Enermax), RAM ok, hard drive ok, and heat is under control

Done it for a friend and no issue at all. Get enough RAM that's my advice.

I have three r9 280x, 2x2GB RAM and every card work @ 700MH/s.
So, IMO RAM doesn't affect mining performance (ofcourse operating system requires some for working, but 4GB is enough for every hashrate).
