Hi, i was looking to get into crypto currency. i was wondering which is the best currency for beginners and how to get into them, i.e. mining.
What sort of hardware do i need to mine currencies like litecoin and dogecoin?
I want to get into a currency with a low difficulty so i can get into it on a budget. if it helps i have a PC with an intel pentium g3258 at clock speeds and an Nvidia GT620 (upgrading to a GTX 950 soon).
my budget for any special/extra hardware is around £200.

so what i am asking is, can anyone suggest a currency that i could get into? considering i am VERY NEW to this kind of thing. what hardware can i use?
I want a currency that is profitable (i dont pay electricity bills because i am a teenager and live with my parents who pay the bills). i dont want my parents to get annoyed so i dont want anything too power consuming and dont want it to take up too much space

hope this question makes sense and someone can help me
 
Solution
It really depends on what you plan to mine. Some are CPU based (probably not worth it), some are going to need a ASIC:
