Me and a friend of mine has made up plans[Managed funds]to start ethereum mining with at least $20k Which Hardwares,Gpus would you suggest for us to build our rigs. Also please provide your tips on mining as this is our first time, and also suggestions on Ethereum,Mining,its future and sustainability

The difficulty is rising fast. So after you spend the $20k and build the rig, it might not be profitable any more.

He is correct. You missed the boat. You should of started in January.
Right now you are better off buying the ETH coin instead.

I wouldn't do it anymore but you never know... quote from 2011: As a college student, I pay no electricity bills living on campus, therefore all of those points are moot. Over the past month I have broken even on my two 5870s, which I can easily sell back on eBay if I need the cash. From here on out running my PC 24/7 is pure profit for me, regardless of if I make 1 BTC per day or 10 BTC per day.
Bitcoin mining should NEVER be seen as a viable source of income, but if you can make it slightly profitable, it might pay for your lunch once a week. That's good enough for me, but people with grand schemes of making tons of money mining have missed the boat completely at this point. Personally I believe the BTC/USD bubble will pop soon as well, as soon as people realize that there aren't that many advantages to using this currency.

Price can suddenly change at anytime such as bitcoin/ ethereum has and profit can suddenly jump but if it remains steady there will be nothing but diminishing returns. So with that you have to realize that mining difficulty will be ever increasing and coin price will be the only thing to make it profitable. Essentially you're mining with a BIG bullish speculative outlook that the price will rise. Managed funds sounds as you are managing other peoples funds for a ether mining "investment" basically you pay them some small percentage over time for a certain amount of time. So if mining goes to shit you basically don't give a flying F8%$ if you lose all of their money. Ok well start reading up on the forums, there is page after page of pools, hardware, mobos, everything you need is within reach of the search button. Personally I find it amazing that people ask these kinds of questions without ever running a single gpu miner pointed to a pool on their pc before saying ok I want to get X amount of funds to invest in this. How do they even know if they can do the setup in the first place

this si wrong, you only missed the ethereum boat, there will be other boats in the future, so buy your rig now, and if it is not profitable shut it down and wait for better times, it will be profitable one day ethereum will go PoS before you ROI
ethereum is not the only profitable coin

There are way too many noobs here.
It doesn't matter if ETH is the most profitable coin today or tomorrow. When ETH is no longer profitable, neither will any of the other coins, since they have no market caps.
The only coin that's as profitable as ETH is BTC but those you mine with ASICS.
Here is a recap. Before ETH, the most you would of ever made mining with a GPU is around $0.15 a day (assuming free electricity). Don't believe me look at Nicehash past charts.
We are all on limited time here. It will never be as good as it is today.

again this is wrong, because jackpotcoin was more profitable than ethereum and auroracoin was more profitable than jackpotcoin, so you see it's not like ethereum was the only profitable coin since 2013, instead it is the less profitable, better "etehruem" will come in the future

I think the best thing to do now for someone that want to try mining ether is by leasing a rig (let me explain why). You invest much less to get some mining return, VS having to build a PC and try to find GPU that are NOT OVER valued. Also, when renting, you are not contributing at upping the hasrate, and then the difficulty, because these rig are already mining ethereum when they are not leased.

The biggest rig leasing place is the nicehash, but you cannot lease hashing power there. Is there another one?

That in turn eats into your profits from the contract and you end up snake eyes.

Better to invest in buying the equipment yourself. I have started our farm from a single rig with 6 gpu's and now finishing up the second rig with 6 gpu's. The ROI will be about 4 months at current price give or take a month. We do it because well mining is addictive and fun. I started mining and got some friends involved and showed the the ROI so they invested in my project and I will continue to keep building the farm out. If ETH POW stops I will move onto another one and keep mining. As long as crpyto lives there will be mining and as long as BTC survives there will always be others to mine. Everything revolves around BTC. Unfortunately we all can't afford the HUGE mining farms to directly mine BTC as some of these other ones do but there is plenty out there to hash away at.

DONT do cloud mining or whatever, best you can do is rent hashrate on nicehash or other website. IF you do decide to invest 20k (sigh) in video cards...well...just make sure you thought of the heat and electric situation. 3 high end cards keep my garage nice and warm, 8 would make it a tropical zone, temperate in winter. imagine having 40....you would need to evacuate all that heat...its a problem.

Is the number of Dash masternodes limited? If not limited and many people can create, then the profit is low.

Wow! 20k is a lot of money I would recommend AMD graphics cards e.g. R9 290x. Here is a mining guide for pool-minig: http://etherbasics.com/tutorials/ethereum-mining-pool-tutorial.html It might help you.

$20k is a lot of money. If you have not invested it, it is better to wait a month or two to get the latest more efficient cards.
So far, the information about the new efficient card from nVidia is not so encouraging. It is slower than expected.

I hope the new cards from the AMD can work better than their existing 390 cards and priced cheaper.

They may not be cheaper, but will definitely consume less power. They have smaller die size, 14 nm.
