@MinerPath: I don't have proper hardware and I am considering buying some. Although, I want to start rather slow. Lets say I start with a $2.000 budget. Any suggestions on hardware?

Buy everything used, but with some warranty if possible.

Most CPUs are very expensive compared to how much they can mine. I'm a fan of buying cheap processors and not seeing it as time waste(since it's very cheap).

For my picks on CPU and Mobos, take a look here:

For my picks on GPUs, take a look here:

The numbers change with time and price changes, but should give you some overview.

On more up to date numbers, take a look here:

I like that the last table can be sorted by profitability, payback and even various coins.
