Forget about an ASIC. you wont be able to get your hands on one for 6 months, at the very least, if you plunked down $6-7k today, and were willing to task the significant risk of A. never actually seeing your ASIC and B. having the difficulty quintuple and make your ROI asymptotic before you ever got it hashing.


Get 4x 7970 and a 3770k and start mining LTC this week.

Worse comes to worse you have an unreal gaming rig.
