Depends where you live, but Coinbase is a popular exchange that lets you buy crypto with fiat currency. Create an account, and then you can buy crypto (e.g. eth) with either a credit or debit card. I would recommend debit, as it seems that Coinbase recently changed there credit card transactions to appear as cash advances on your credit card bill.

From there, if you wish to just hold onto it with the hopes that the value will increase, you can set up an eth wallet and transfer your eth from coinbase to your wallet.

Please note that there is no guarantee you will make any money, and it is entirely possible for you to lose some or all of the money you put into crypto. Do not invest anything you're not prepared to lose.

^+1 with the best mining cards often costing close to double MSRP at the moment, it's hard to justify building a mining rig right now. Would arguably be better to just buy some eth (or other crypto) if you really want to get involved with it in some fashion (although either route involves a fair bit of risk).
If you're set on building a mining rig though, there are plenty of guides out there that can be found with a quick google search for "ethereum mining rig" (or similar).

If you read through the Forum it won't take you long to find gamers moaning they can't afford new graphics cards because miners have pushed up teh prices.

You might also see posts from miners, or ex-miners, who lost a lot of money and still have huge electricity bills to pay for the power they wasted in the attempt to get rich quickly.
