bitcoin mining hardware - current "best buy option"?

[excalibur]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to bitcoin mining. I would like to get a quick start with a good miner. I'm planning to invest about 5000 EUR in mining hardware. What hardware would you suggest for me? Please provide links where I can buy the suggested hardware.

Thx advance,
Excalib

I think it is not the proper place for such question. I'm a newbie too, but I think buying vgas are still viable. You'll be able to resell them when they are not profitable anymore, so that you can break even in weeks. I'm afraid to buy ASIC, they are hard to obtain, many scam sites are around, and most of them are not even released yet.

An ASIC build is the current trend, but as ButterflyLabs can't deliver quick enough on products your order will mostly likely be placed in a large queue.
