Anyway, now OP has a budget and wants to go ASIC, I'd call myself out.
Get some used zeus blizzard miners on eBay. The 1.3 MH/s or 3.6 MH/s models should be affordable to get.

Mining game is really out for everyone even if you invest in ASICs. There are huge farms using ASICs to mine Bitcoin. Even with new hardwares, it may become obsolete even before you ROI. Alt coins are relatively volatile so it wouldn't be a good choice too.
The thing about hunting altcoins, is that you need GPUs. GPUs are adaptable, in contrary to ASICs. If a new algo comes out tomorrow, big chance that it will support GPUs, even from start.
ASICs become much faster obsolete that way, unlike GPUs. And even then, ASICs can only be resold as paperweight, a GPU can still find its way to a second hand gaming setup.
I don't advice anyone who is into mining for fun and hobby to invest into ASICs, they become boring before they're obsolete

Very cheap for you enthusiasts maybe. For non-enthusiasts a cheap card is 50 bucks. Midrange 80, High-end 100, 120 if we want to go overkill. Not to mention always the same thing: if it's for mining, it's trashing money. If for learning, better to upgrade the whole system.
you can find it for 50 buck even new lol
750ti is very cheap
thanks everyone for helping me out!! anyone recommend any miners?? hardware lol
whats a good card to mine scrypt with?
No card. Scrypt is dominated by ASICs, you won't get any reasonable results with a GPU. Try GPU friendly algos and coins (X11, X13, X15, Neoscrypt).
Flappycoin is a scrypt coin with low difficulty and network hashrate. So yes, with such coins you'll get your share. But with a price of 40-50 litoshi per FLAP, it's not really worth the used energy (unless you have free energy). The other algos are more energy efficient than scrypt.

750ti is very cheap
Max i can spend is 400$ maybe $1000 budget
well buy a gtx 970 then, but keep in mind that everything is not profitable right now

Your budget may barely be enough, you would need a new motherboard, psu,cpu etc. CPU plays a small part in mining so cpu speed doesn't matter unless you are mining using CPU. Buy the cheapest motherboard you can find which support your card and a cheap CPU.Max i can spend is 400$ maybe $1000 budget

buy a new nvidia card like 750ti, they are very cheap, low consumption and very good hashrate
Mining speed of 1kh/s is extremely slow, a modern desktop GPU could easily beat that. The GPU is too old. AFAIK, Cudaminer automatically makes adjustment to achieve optimal hashrate. With cudaminer being the most efficient software for nvidia GPU, you can't get anymore hashrate other than that. Try buying a scrypt ASIC if you want to learn more about scrypt mining.
