NONE!
Since at least mid-2013 using CPU/GPU's for mining BTC is beyond useless. Ref the pinned message at the top of this section mainly point-3. Also please ref this Help topic at the mining pool I use https://kano.is/index.php?k=mining

Perhaps try researching what is involved in Bitcoin mining and then ask questions... Use your favorite search engine with "What is Bitcoin mining?" Another good description is again in the Help area at the mining pool I use https://kano.is/index.php?k=bitcoin

Mining BTC on Windows computer at the moment is not possible, because Cpu and Gpu to mine it is not possible, to mine BTC at the present time requires dedicated miners because of the hash rate of BTC is too high.

Yes ! You can only mine BTC with ASICS like that. They are expensive specialized equipment !
Have a look : https://www.asicminervalue.com/
The ones with algo: SHA265 can mine BTC (among other alts)

Take all the numbers you see there with a grain of salt as your mileage may vary ...

All bitcoin miners as of today come with their own software pre-installed with a web access and a simple GUI, you just need to enter your pool and worker details and start mining right away.

If you have any device that needs some sort of software then it certainly can't mine bitcoin in the first place.

Wrong.
If you had bothered to read the start of this VERY short thread you would know that for many years now, BTC mining with a PC is beyond useless.

Okay. some questions to ask you are:

1) do you have 110/120 volt power or 220/240 volt power?
2) are you USA based?
3) what does your power cost?
4) how much heat and sound can you take?
5) what do you want to spend?
6) how much can you lose if you spend?


If you have 110/120 volt power you are limited to lessor gear.

Avalon a841 used >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> close to 90 watts a th hard to find

bitmain s9 modded like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-tLR6sEVQs >>>>> close to 80 watts a th if you are usa based I can sell you one.

or an Apollo https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5314398.0 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> nice gear I have one for the seller. close to 65 watts a th.

most likely all of the above will lose money but can be pretty cheap to buy and run on 110/120 volt power.

Just like Philipma outlined for you. The biggest thing is having a 240V outlet, as you will be drawing over 3000 watts with the bigger units. The machines are usually very loud and throw a lot of heat, so keeping them cool is essential. Your electricity cost will also be a factor, so see how much you are paying per kilowatt hour. Lastly they are very expensive so you have to do a lot of math to make sure you will get the return you want.
