Is it worth right now if i buy a mining machine ?

Maybe Maybe not.  But no miner makes 1 btc a month.

Directly mining BTC means an asic miner such as the S-9 from bitmain.

Hot
Loud
pulls power   close to 1400 watts

1400 watts = 1.4 x 24  = 33.6 k-watts a day x 30 = 1000 kwatts a month  at 10 cent a kwatt 100 usd in power cost

a 13.5 th miner will earn 287 usd in a month before power so  287 - 100 = 187 a month  they cost 2000 or more  so 11 months to break even at 10 cent power.

Or mine btc  indirectly by building or buying a pc.

I have found prebuilt

 2 card rx 580 miners  for 1313 usd plus tax
 2 card 1080 ti miners for 2200 usd plus tax

the 580 earns  4 a day and costs 1.20 in power  uses 500 watts  so plus 2.80 a day not very hot or loud

the 1080 ti  earns 7 a day cost 1.00 in power uses 450 watts so plus   6 a day  also not very hot or loud.
