The prices of graphic cards are starting to drop. I'm starting to see GTX 1080's under $600.

I'm completely new at mining. I've only mined a couple of alt coins on my laptop. My question is, should I buy a new gaming PC with a motherboard that allows multiple graphic cards? When I'm not using the machine, it could be used for mining? Would buying multiple graphic cards over time be worth it? And would I be able to get a 100% return on investment before the end of 2018?

Any answers would be great. The other option would be to get an AntMiner instead of multiple graphic cards. So, what are your thoughts?
You can forget about your plans. The payback period for the equipment for mining for about a year. This means that I can confidently say that you will not be able to return your investment until the end of 2018. Many people mistakenly think that there is no risk for mining. That's not so. Now for example it is not known what will happen to the cryptonight algorithm. And I have a lot of different arguments.
