I would definitely research some more on various websites and sources to see what they recommend. Self-research is going to help you improve your learning and grow with your project instead of stumbling along from clear-cut directions from a forum poster.
Look into GPUs!
Don't look into GPU's, don't look into anything Bitcoin mining -- as you're not going to make a cent in Bitcoin mining these days, even with a large (and I mean very large investment) you're going to end up losing money as you're unable to maintain this, unable to compete with cheap power (such as China), and you're too keen on thinking of the free money that you forget the amount of work that goes into something like this.
Don't mine BTC.
I'd advise mining Altcoins, obviously using NiceHash or something along those lines to be able to auto exchange for Bitcoin -- then auto exchange to USD through something like Coinbase.
Or just Buy BTC, or investing in something else (stock market?)
