You will lose several thousands dollars that you will never get back.

Don't do it.

Alright, first off, bitcoin mining, ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS unless you have multiple thousands of dollars to put into it.

 

If you ABSOLUTELY want to mine, I would recommend getting ASIC miners OR going with cloud mining options.

Pre-orders are a big no-no.

Use this as a basic reference for the return on invetment.

I personnally had a bunch of dogecoins lying around and I converted them to bitcoins and got 3 mh/s of scrypt mining power with zen hashlets, that's around 60$. in 10 days, I made 4$ TOPS, do not expect it to make you rich.

 

If you insist on mining with your gpu, dont, unless you use your computer as a way to heat your house.

 

Lastly, DO. YOUR. RESEARH.

I would just recommend buying bitcoins directly. Mining only becomes profitable when the value of bitcoin increases, where as just investing in bitcoin will get you a greater return than operating your own miner. The only reason you would want to GPU mine is if you plan on mining x11, x13, x15 coins or other exotic algos. If don't know what those are, then don't even consider GPU mining. If you think bitcoin value will go up, the best way to make money on that rise is to buy the bitcoins directly, without mining. 

One 7950s' all I need...

in lames terms you're spending nearly the same you make, while running the mining machine jacking up the hydro bill, as you would making back in bitcoin value, no?
