Just out of curiosity, how profitable is mining ethereum, and can you do it with a GPU or is it mostly ASICs? I have a brand new gtx980 ti on the way for the oculus, and was curious if I could run it to help pay for it.

It's GPU memory intensive, so no ASICS yet, and an ETH ASIC would just be a general purpose computer. It's fairly profitable to mine, assuming your electricity cost is reasonable.
