There should be a sticky for this kind of questions.
1- Don't even think about solo mining. It's not worth it unless of have lots of GPUs.
2- NVIDIA is bad for mining. If you do get the 460 and if you mine 24/7, you will make 1 bitcoin per month (more or less). Check the calculator at http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php.
3- It is highly unlikely that it will cover the electricity costs, but that depends on where you live and on how much do you pay for electricity.
At current prices, 1 bitcoin is around $7. Prices can go up or down...

I don't think it'd cover costs, but what I mean is for what I'd be making in bitcoins. I'm unsure of if it's worth the extra costs, and if so, roughly how much the costs would be. ( I live in Australia) Where pricing is f'ing ridiculous lol.
Firstly, don't pay for mining software, there's plenty of good, free options available:

Personally, I use cgminer.
Secondly, even if you do swap to an ATI GPU as suggested, I'd think hard about whether to mine at all on a laptop. Unless it has some excellent cooling, heat will be a major issue. If this is your primary PC, think hard about what that might do to the expected lifespan of the laptop vs the likely reward (pretty small for a single GPU at the current difficulty).
If you do end up doing it anyway, I'd probably run it without the battery while you're mining as it will only hurt your energy efficiency, and the extra heat will degrade it more quickly.

The desktop im using atm is my mums. I'm not so sure about the GPU in it. It is NVIDIA GeFore 9200
and the processor is E7500 Intel Core 2 DUO CPU @ 2.93 GHz 2.94GHz
I wasn't sure how to reply to both you and the other person in one reply, so I just quoted this one, hopefully it'll notify you both or something. Thank you for replying though. You guys have both been pretty helpful.
So with the desktop im using based on those two things, am I going to paying more than what I'll be earning? and what are your opinions on solo/pool mining. Which is more rewarding? from what I read you earn more pool mining. Also I already have the client downloaded (it's in my signature) lol. But I will look into securing it.
I've been doing some reading on the forums about solo mining, pool mining and just things in general to take into consideration before purchasing mining software.
Firstly. I might be getting a Dell Alienware M17X Laptop.
- Intel® Core i7-2720QM Processor (2.2GHz, 1600 MHz DDR3, 6M cache
- 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM (2 X 4GB)
- 1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M
(thank you mum) lol.
Do you guys think I'd be generating more BC than what I'd be spending on the added electricity usage? (I'm pretty sure I'll be pool mining)
Secondly. With purchasing the mining software. Could someone link me to where to purchase it. (I'm assuming theres numerous sites, but with that I'm sure theres plenty of dodgy sites. It just seems safest to ask atm)
Also, is it a one time fee or a reoccuring fee for the software?
Thanks in advance guys

Two guys are sitting on a bar stool. One starts to insult the other one. He screams, I slept with your mother! The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do. The first again yells, I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!
The other says, Go home dad youre drunk.
