As a tipp:

Read the wiki pages first, there are comparisons of GPUs (how much hashing power they deliver) and also some backgrounds about bitcoin (or: why every ~10 days (currently) you will get ~40% less income (currently)).
https://www.coinlend.org <-- automated lending at various exchanges.
https://www.bitfinex.com <-- Trade BTC for other currencies and vice versa.

If you buy the hardware and bitcoin's value should crash, you still have the hardware Wink
