Good evening.
I recently upgraded my 7 year old pc.
Currently i have

Core i5 4570
Asus H87 pro c2
8GB Kingston Hyper X beast
XFX Core edition Pro series 550W 80 plus bronze

My GTS 450 will be sold. I also got an MSI gtx 770 for 240 euros.
I consider selling the 770 and get 2 750 TIs and use the computer for about 6~8 hours(sometimes more)/day for Litecoin mining(of course i ll have to change Motherboard since this one doesnt support sli) when im not gaming.

Earning a lot of cash isnt possible with that rig. I dont wanna go for anything BIG since im noob and possibly just waste my not so much money.This is more of a test for me. If it actually pays something off i may consider building something better.
What i dont know is if i will end up spending more on power bills than gaining from coins.I ll probably need a new pc for my brother next year and i plan on getting one or 2 pieces using my earnings.
I chose the 750s over R9 2xx for the low power consumption.I think it is the safest way to go.
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Solution
haswell is the only nvidia cards worth trying to mine with. The 750tis are great at hashrate/watt performance, but their overall performance is still something to be admired.
