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!

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

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.
