That would totally depend on the cost of your power. Anything greater than .05 cents/kwh would make it impossible to ROI.

Go to this mining calculator https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator and plug in your costs to find out.

Buy this S5, set it up (point it to solo pool) and forget. You will not spend too much money for electricity it will consume, but once you can find a block with this S5 and get rich. It's a kind of lottery.  ;)

You can configure it to mine on some usual (PPLNS) pool though and wait for a while. Look into your wallet in a year. There will be some BTC.
