You shouldn't use a GPU to try and mine BTC.  That hasn't been available for years... you have to use ASICs to mine BTC.  You can try to mine altcoins with a GPU.  You should do some reading here fora few days before jumping in.  You need to formulate some plans, as there are many aspects about mining that you don't understand yet.

If you want to download Nicehash and start mining right away, you will get a little bit of bitcoin while you figure out if mining is profitable for you.  Note that when you use Nicehash you are not mining BTC directly, but are mining altcoins and Nicehash pays you in BTC to do so.

Oh i see, so I've done a little bit digging, and i came across this. https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/mining/hardware/antminer-s9/ will this do? and can this mine other altcoins as well as btc as well? electricity is cheap from where i am and i think it's going to be as profitable as trading. I already have Nicehash running on my local laptop but its producing a mere 1$ a day. is there any recommendation you can give me with what the best possible set-up to go through?

YOU CAN NOT MINE BTC OR BCH WITH GPU , or i would say technically you can , but you can not make more than a few cents/days

Yes you can mine BTC or BCH but nothing else with ANTMINER S9 from BITMAIN

All ASIC miner is loud and generating a lot of heat .

D.Lagman, make much more digging about cryptocurrencies and mining... Or better just buy some bitcoins and leave them for 1-2 years

For GPU mining, you mine BTC by not mining BTC.

You would end up destroying your laptop if you keep using it for mining. That would probably cost more than the total money it earned, plus the electricity expenses you'd end up spending more than earning. A little digging wouldn't be enough, you should read more. If you're interested in antminers go straight to bitmain to avoid being scammed.
