I'm thought setting up a new mining rig. Is btc mining worth it now? If so what components should I buy to make at least 0.8 btc a month...

GPU and CPU mining is out of the game right now and you could not possibly gain any profit using that. Leaving us with ASICs. Most ASIC are inefficient with electricity costs over 0.1USD and it would still have risk due to the volatility of Bitcoin. Ant miner S7 is one of the most efficient ASICs in the market but the hardware prices are too high.

Then buy miners with the lowest $/GH you can find, without maxing out your available power.  I would go with either S3 or S5's. Make sure you are buying miners with your own money at risk, and not borrowing to buy these miners, as your negative trust would have us believe.

At current difficulty levels, you would require 3.22 TH/s to have BTC0.8 per month in revenue before power or hosting costs.

If electrical bills are not a concern, it would be ideal for you to get miners with high GH density or less $/GH. Ideally, find a second hand ASIC seller that has a good trading history in the computer hardware section and you would have a low $/GH. They are more prone to failures though so do ask the seller to guarantee that it is working within specifications.
