Mining question / Hashrate

[TheFiendishOne]

So I figured mining out and I am mining at about 200 Khash/s on a pool and I see I have the lowest hashrate.  I see one person has a hashrate of 237,118 khash/s.

I am running a GeForce GTX 750 Ti using Cudaminer to mine a scrypt algo coin.  ( I assume what coin I am mining is not important for my question, but the algo )

Am I right to assume that the person hashing at 237,118 khash/s is running a scrypt asic miner and thus not using a simple home computer setup to mine in order to get that?

I am wondering what is the maximum hashrate one would expect from a decent gaming rig.

Also a website, article or guide that would tell me which hardware would provide the best hashrate power for what type of algorithm/altcoin. (within the CPU/GPU mining area)

For example if for some reason CPU mining scrypt gave me a better hashrate than GPU mining with nVidia, or perhaps GPU mining is better with AMD?

And I guess a list telling me which algo's that have asic / special mining rigs that you plug in to your computer to mine with. 

Just trying to avoid getting all into a coin only to find out I should probably spend a couple hundred on a real mining rig (not ready to take that leap yet)

Yes, it's an ASIC scrypt miner. SHA256 and SCRYPT mining is almost all ASIC

If anyone knows if any other algo's are starting to use ASIC please post.

Does the mining "pool" with the highest hashing power typically solve the most blocks?

I'm sure the answer is somewhere around here.  Just having a hard time finding it

Some guy coded an FPGA to run X11 I believe, at a rate slightly faster than a GTX nVidia TITAN.
When the market gets bigger, I'm sure people will make new miners for different algos.
