New to the forums. Thanks for having me.
I currently have this mobo -
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_Z97_MARK_1/I originally bought it for gaming some time ago, but it's just been collecting dust.
I am looking at 3 MSI Radeon R9 390X -
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127872&cm_re=amd_r9-_-14-127-872-_-ProductIs this a good card? Is there a better option or value?
Whats a good power supply?
I was planning on going with the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS distro, is this a good choice?
I have watched hardware mining for years and read quite a bit about it, but this is my first build.
Any help is appreciated.

R9-390X price is on average 2x of R9-280x, but the hash power is only 1.2x of R9-280x
so instead of 3x R9-390x you could have 6x R9 280x, which should give you almost ~2x hashrate
