You shouldn't mine bitcoin with your GPU. Instead, you should mine scrypt coins, and trade them for bitcoin.

Pretty much that.

GPU mining Bitcoins is burning money on electricity + bruning up your graphics card.

There is little to no value in mining on such a small scale - you'll hardly earn anything and risk the chance of damaging your GPU which wouldn't be worth it unless you're still under warranty. Anyway you don't want to be mining BTC, try LTC or some other scrypt with BTC you'll earn ~ 0.
