Hello, I am some what new to this.

I need a list of items I need to get a Rig up and running. I know the rig is not going to be cheap , but that is life right?

If anyone can provide a list of components.


Yes, I know I need a computer that will have a PSU, Processor and RAM, Fans and all that... but  I want to Mine Coins with X6500 Custom FPGA Miner and I don't really know how to use it. HELP ME!

First, state your budget. Then take a look at here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
The computer itself doesn't need to be high powered at all, you just need a lot of PCIE ports if you want to run a GPU rig, and a shitty CPU will do. RAM and etc is out from the equation. A powerful PSU is needed, though.
If you want to run a FPGA /ASIC rig, the only thing you need to consider is the FPGA/ASIC itself. Just hook it up to a spare USB at a computer will do.
