Digital mining?

What is it, whats the cheapest way to get into it, and is it worth it? I was thinking about Dogecoin mining, hoping to jump in while its still new and take a risk. I have a GTX 650 TI Boost (which might be able to be overclocked with my corsair H55, not sure how much performance would be gained), and an i5-3330. I also have a phenom II 965, original phenom, and a 7750 card. 

 

Edit: Corrections.

Do you know if it uses a lot of internet bandwidth, or can it be done offline?
