I'd suggest you to stay away from ASIC mining. There's hundreds of thousands of GPUs being dumped by noobs on ebay as we speak. The people who FOMOed in but has no idea how to undervolt/overclock. You can start like every noob with Nicehash earning BTC if that feels safer for you, rather than lurking bitcointalk and picking good projects.Things you should look for:

-GTX 1060 (6GB) around $180-220. Lock power at 66-70%, overclock the memory to the max until it starts crashing, and it's 80W consumption per card with maxed hashrate in almost every algo.
-GTX 1070 around $300-$350. Lock power at 66-70%, overclock the memory to the max until it starts crashing, and it's 120W per card and also maxed hashrate in almost all algos.

The good thing about GPU mining is that you can always sell later the GPUs and there's a huge gaming market. Not so much with used ASICS.
The bad thing about GPU mining in Nicehash is that you'll be making not much more than 110-150% of what you "spend" in electricity until the golden bull run comes back. But mind you, what you mine at these prices is like DCA at the bottom. 6 GTX 1070 are making about $80-$100/month.
