Mobo: Asrock H81 Pro BTC - $60
CPU: Intel LGA 1150 G3220 3Ghz Dual Core Haswell - $50
PSU: Corsair CX750M 750w 80+ Bronze - $70
GPU 0 - Sapphire 7870 -$150
GPU 1 - Powercolor 7850 - $120
GPU 2 - Diamond 7870 -$150

Total: $600

Had a 4gb stick of ram and a hdd/usb stick laying about so no cost for those

After messing with this for over a week and finding I had a faulty psu, and gpui 0 not wanting anything higher than  -i 18 without crashing. I finally have it up and running stable with just tweaking the TC. As you can tell by temp I have quite alot of room for OC. I believe I can have this at 1.2Mhs after fully tweaked. I'll keep you updated.

Just thought I would share for anyone interested in getting started with a cheap alternative to the single higher hashing cards. If I can get this hashing at 1.2+ that would be the same performance of 2x 7950, at about half the price, and you already have everything else. GPU pricewise its about 1/3 spent on gpu's for same performance.
