To start, Here is the new rig that I would like to make.
http://i37.tinypic.com/2dcd4kp.jpg

I'd like to turn a profit mining BTC because honestly it's the only coin I know much about and I've already started a bit with my current computer.

I picked X why (new parts)?

Mobo - 3 PCIe slots for expansion, all x16
Case - Cheaper, fits better
PSU - Will be able to hold all three cards
GPU - Can turn a profit and will buy 2 more once the rig breaks even

I also picked this GPU because it's a powerhouse and I read in multiple threads that it was a great miner with stock clock getting around 600MHashes/s and overclocking to around 800.

Things I need help with
At the current low price from mtgox, BTC are $120. What is the projected date to break even with one card running 700MHashes/s? (Does not include the cost of electricity)

What is a rough estimate of this rig making in profit per week?

Is this rig worth investing in?

Whats the best and safest way to exchange BTC to USD?

If not BTC then what's a coin that will turn a decent profit (hopefully +15-20$ more than profit per week)?

Thanks again for all your help.
