I think you will kill your hardware power supply and video card faster than you would earn your first cent.
Use basic mining calculator (https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=40&HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=1500&CostPerkWh=0.12&MiningPoolFee=1) and just calculate when at least your expenses will equal your profit and predict, will you be able to run mining non-stop for all that time. I always thought that if you do mining, you must invest a lot from the start and only from half a year you will feel your first returns from investment. And mining with several cards, one asic or basic home mining is not worth spending time and money.

Only when you got very cheap energy it can be profitable.

This area is BTC only and you cannot mine BTC with a PC. Period. Crap altcoins sure but go the the altcoin area for that stuff.
