Getting Started Mining

I was wondering if you guys could help me start lightcoin mining.

System specs: Radeon HD 7950 OC 1100MHz, Phenom II X6 1045t OC 3.4GHz, 2X4GB RAM 1600 MHz.

Do I need a paypal account anything and how would I convert my ltc to btc for when I want to buy something?

How many ltc would I be mining a day using my GPU and how much if I used my CPU?

Should I join a mining pool or should I solo it?

How much is each ltc about worth in btc and usd?

If you have any other information regarding this such as tips please post I need all the help I can get.

1. Your GPU is great.... not sure exactly but should be between 500 and 600 khash/s maybe which should get you just under 2 litecoins per day

2. to convert from ltc to btc use btc-e.com

3. using your CPU by itself would suck nuts and using them both at the same time wouldn't add much

4. pool... solo it would take a while for you to hit a block (ROUGH ROUGH estimate would be 50 days)

5. ltc is about $2 USD and 0.02 btc currently. Can check here in top rightish http://pool.gotgrapedrink.com/
