First of all: you must have been reading a really, really old article... Graphic cards (GPU's) are not suitable for mining bitcoin anymore... You can still use them to mine for altcoins (like ETH) tough...
If you want to make a GPU rig, i'd suggest you move this topic to the altcoin mining subforum, the people lurking over there will give you much better advise as to which GPU to buy in order to buy which altcoin. In this specific subforum, you'll only get Bitcoin-mining related advise, which is pretty much useless if you want to invest in GPU's.
If you've got your mind set at mining bitcoins, you should look into buying a latest-gen ASIC (like the antminer S9). Do be carefull tough: a new ASIC does not guarantee profit... It depends on your electricity rate, your luck, your custom duties, other equipment you need to buy (like air conditioning, shelves, PSU's, network gear, power cabling, breakers,...)
