First of all, all crypto-coins are NOT Bitcoin! It is a specific coin using the SHA256 algorithm with very specific hardware needs.

However - you CAN mine most other coins which are known as altcoins but the most profitable ones will require multiple top-end GPU's to make any real money. For altcoin hardware start here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0) where ALL non-Bitcoin queries belong.

Yes you can, but earning is too low now. You can try miner.nicehash.com to learn how to mine with your PC, that's a good first step to begin  :D

You definitely want to use ASIC miners for BTC mining, the difficulty is far too high to try and mine using GPU or CPU miners. You will be spending more money on your rig's power bill than you will be making money mining crypto
