i have a fury a gridseed a r9 280x and some bolck eupters. how i get them work good together

Depending on what algorithms you want them to run on, you would do it differently. I don't know how to use a gridseed on SHA-256 though, maybe someone else can help.
You would install the drivers, plug in the gridseed to your computer, and run a cgminer (3.7.2 is the latest that supports scrypt) and run another instance of cgminer/bfgminer to mine with the block erupters on SHA-256. (I'm assuming they are Block Erupter USBs?)
:D

Please use google. An algorithm is an algorithm. Try reading the series of basic guides on CoinDesk. SHA-256 and scrypt (Yes, it's spelt with a Y) are coin algorithms, although there are many others. GPUs can mine all of them, while ASICs can only mine one.

so what i mine can? so my r9 280x is gpu, mine all, what block erupter, fury

Your Gridseed can mine both SHA-256 and scrypt, your block erupter USBs SHA-256, Your fury scrypt, your GPU anything.
Use sgminer, cgminer and bfgminer. Read tutorials.

ok thanks
should i buy butterfly labs they have good hardware 600

NO. Butterfly Labs is the worst ASIC manufacturer, they never ship on time and they mine with your hardware. They even bought a site for a 5 figure amount just to delete negative reviews.

but they have 600 is worth wait no

Do you mean 600GH/s? So what? Stuff like CoinTerra have 1TH/s+ machines (1000GH/S), there's the S3 from Bitmain, there's loads of other options, but never, ever, ever go for Butterfly Labs. In fact, go search "BFL" on UrbanDictionary.

bitmain is good? they have s3? i thought antminer s3, not bitmain s3
what do i buy to mine vert and drak?

Ummm... Antminer is the series of products, manufactured by Bitmain. So it's AntMiner S3 by Bitmain. It's good, cheap, power efficient, standalone, but the downside is that you need to get a power supply for it.
To mine VertCoin or DarkCoin (if that's what you're asking), there are no ASICs. You can build a rig of GPUs to mine them if you'd like, but GPUs consume a lot of electricity.
