The motherboard I'm using is an ASRock H97 Anniversary and it has 5 PCIe slots. Each of those card's is connected to a powered PCIe riser which uses a USB3.0 cable (with PCIe adapters on each end) to connect the card to the motherboard.
Cool. I think 1200 should be plenty. Just be safe when you decide to go to another coin. Don't want you to lose precious mining time and money due to a PSU working too hard.
Regarding the Biostar boards, and again from personal experience, they are the best boards I have used, period. I've used both of these boards, and compared to the TB85, they caused me more issues. My rigs would freeze randomly, knowing that every component was fine. When I would install/replace GPUs while using those Mobos I always had an issue of 1 or 2 cards not being seen, and I would have to swap which slots the risers were connected to, eventually getting the GPUs to be seen. I've never had that problem with the TB85. I just plug my GPUs in the order I want them in, and I'm good to go. But again, this is personal experiences, and I've seen people swear by those Mobos and how good they are, just didn't work well for me. All my rigs now run TB85 Mobos.

> How much more expensive would a H97 MoBo be?
This seems to be the cheapest one:

> Can the i3 be OC-ed too or would I have to switch to the Pentium for that?
The i3 cant be overclocked.
>Also, I guess I'd need to buy more cooling if I was to OC anything, right?#
You would be able to push it further with a decent mobo and better cooling, but its common for people to get 4.0 to 4.4ghz with just the stock cooler.
Looking better for sure.
Never heard of ASRock before, but like I said, completely fallen out of the loop.
Additionally, Amazon is doing it's best to confuxz me even more as it has multiple listings for that H97 Anniversary, but the one that matches the picture on PCPP lists DDR-1066 while the other listing says DDR3-1600/1333/1066 (PCPP isn't listing Amazon for some reason
Also, been tinkering with PCHound, and one of the setups it spun out suggested an i5-4690, but from what I can tell, it's ~$40 more for only marginal increases. Not worth the ~$40 difference?
