I am by no means an expert, but my understanding is that a personal computer isn't energy/heat efficient enough to make a profit from mining. It costs more in energy than you would make from the bitcoin. My friends who do some mining have told me the same.
You're competing with computers that are made exclusively for bitcoin and people who are heavily investing their time into it so it makes sense.
It would probably be fine just for trying the system out and seeing how it works before you invest though.
