I am new to minning,i hve desktop in my office and with p4 cpu,i will like to order for HD6670 ATI Radeon HD Game GDDR5 DDR5 1GB 1024MB 128bit PCI HDMI PCI-C Express Desktop Video Graphics Cards PC Graphics Card or 2GB 2048MB GTX770 GDDR3 DDR3 256bit GTX Nvidia Geforce Video Card Graphics Cards for Games Desktop PC. which one will be okay for me? please advice im new

It's true sadly the day's of mining GPU's are gone for most.  Because of electricity go with Asics.

There are literally hundreds of ways to mine and no one post can cover all of that.  To keep it simple:

-Buy Miner
-Plug it into computer/laptop/Pi or configure it through web acess
-Pick some pools to mine on and make accounts
-Mine using CGMiner or BFGMiner
-Spend BTC and be happy!

Here's a more detailed guide for many ASIC models:

Hi bro, very sorry i am new here.

Except buy miner, can we buy such software for mining?.

what do you mean by buy a miner and how does it work,electricity is okay here and i will like to go into full minning. im waiting for your quick reply. i also want to know how to mine with hardware instead of doing it myself. thanks mate

If i understand right the anwser is not really.  The software listed above is free.  It run's hardware for mining. 

Look into Asic Miners, i suggest bitcoin for starting.  Scrypt is a totally different game. 

You could just get the software... but these day's GPU/CPU mining of alt coins is dead for most because of cost compared to amount you mine.

I would suggest a all in one miner for starting something such as S3 that is plug/play.  You just have to configure it which there is many great guides for.

If you want to mine Bitcoin or Litecoin based coins, try to get some dedicated ASIC hardware. If you would be more willing to take risk and speculate, you can put together a GPU mining setup and mine alt coins. However, be advised that it is a lot more work to setup, install, troubleshoot, and maintain and bunch of GPU rigs than to just get an ASIC.

Well, I have 0 experience in mining hardware, but that is an incorrect statement..(yes I contradict myself often lol..) due to having mined continually since the first release of bitcoin using nothing more than my spare quad core and a 8600gt grafix card..

I read a lot of how electricity is the prime concern, which to me does'nt make much sense, since whilst it's not cost effective at the time, is actually worth it if btc does go through the roof in terms of how much CASH you can exchange them for.. if this price continues to rise, (as will leccy..)..

How many people considered that this shows us we can mine btc for free with NO electric costs?

How? Well, their is a disclosure fee for this kind of mining, or if someone wants to give me a job, I'll show them how to mine with NO cost.. (excluding my wages..) I am an electronics engineer to trade, and know full well how to create a self perpetuating power supply, that will last longer than the life of a human..

As for mining with hardware, buy, plug n play from what I understand.. yeah, you'll probably need to set up ip and l/p and/or wallet address, peice of piss..

start with gpuminer or such, and learn how it runs on YOUR computer, then when you have grasped the basics, get the miners..

Just type asic miner in google, take your pick, the only reason I have yet to buy one is the same reason I come across quite stern sometimes, because despite all the information out there, I have yet to see a reputable dealer that will just send upon payment, unused brand new hardware, on time. I am not willing to risk 500 quid by sending it to someone who has probably used it to con thousands out of their btc.. The websites relating to such hardware are most dubious at best in my opinion..

I myself asked here where to get a couple, and got NO answer I could rely on, telling me knowone actually knows, or is holding back just like they would with their btc..

If you have a way of violating the second law of thermodynamics then you shouldn't be wasting time on this forum. Get your shit patented and you're set for a thousand lifetimes.

I dont patent/copyright anything, since in all honesty, idea's are in the air, and we all get those idea's at the same time.. it's up to those who catch on at the time to make something of those idea's.. I'd rather know I was the first to show what can actually be done with the tools at our disposal.

If I find or design a hack should I copyright it?

A hack? I reckon in the USA you can patent that. At least you should ensure that you've documented it, just in case someone else tries to claim patent on it later on.

If you, as you claimed, have a way of violating the second law of thermodynamics then you should patent that, take out a life insurance (some people may not love losing their multi-billion businesses) and go collect you Nobel prize.

If however you're merely trolling you don't have to worry about a thing. You automatically own the copyright on everything you write in a fixed form. And that includes this forum. So if anyone would try to infringe on your trolling you have a basis to sue them.
