Is it still profitable to build a mining/gaming rig at this time?

Cool. So it would still be good to invest into a mining machine for litecoin Would take a few months to get the money make on the machines themself. Then after that profit all the way.

So the 5k investment into these rigs would be the go.

From the market right now, yes

GPU mining can recover a large part of the initial spend on craigslist/eBay if things really do go belly up.  People spending money on ASICs will have nothing more than museum pieces.

Even better though is the ability to vent your frustration in glorious 4k resolution on some unsuspecting bad guys in whatever free games come with all those 7xxx cards!
