I don't see why not. Yes, you will need to use powered risers.

Do you already have the board?  If not look at MSI Z87 g55

Do i need Terminator on the GPUs?

asrock 970 extreme4 features  3x pci-16x  slots and  2x pci-1x  slots

You need an aluminum open rig, 3x pci-16x cables, and 2x "pci-16x to pci-1x" cable adapters.

You will need at least 2x Coooler Master 1000W PSU

Dunno what Terminator is...

Did you allready made progress doing this?

I'm wondering if you get 5 GPU's to work, becouse i assembled a mining rig lastnight, but get 3 out of 5 to work on the Asrock 970 Extreme4 Mainboard. My internet search did'nt made me happy becouse lots of people have problems doing this. Some people say it can't work with 5 GPU. Dummyplug anything doesnt help. The mainboard has only 22 lanes with has a limit of 4 GPU's.

I use all powered connectors. But connecting the molex, or don't connect it, doesnt change anything. Even with other 5GPU rigs i've got. Connecting the molex doesnt make a difference.
