Im about to build a new pc budget around 2k. What kind of build should i go if i want it for gaming and trying to mine. My pc is always on anyway so electricy doesnt really bother me just looking to mine something thats cheapish and hope it would go up one day lol
Cpu mining is worth it, when you have dual xeons on 1 mb, not less of that.
I doubt your statement, I have server 2U XEON 12 cores 24 threads and 4 months ago I mine in ETN coin and get 32ETN/day and I have free electricity but I stop mining using that because of not worth for me. moreover now price ETN is down and diff increased. so, I think mining use CPU is not worth although you have free electricity.
If you are interested in what kind of performance you can expect mining this algorithm with a CPU, here is a reference for you. An Intel Core i7 6850K (6-cores at 3.6 GHz + HT) does around 635 H/s in the yescryptr32 algorithm without overclock of the processor. A processor like the commonly used Intel Celeron G1840 (Dual Core at 2.8 GHz) manages to get around 110 H/s in terms of hashrate when mining yescryptr32.
Monero after the FORK that was delayed to day 6....
At current prices, I am not a fan of CPU mining. Not only is the profitability low to begin with, it can adversely affect your GPU mining performance. Every GPU miner uses some of the CPU to validate results, fetch new work and distribute that work to your cards. So if your CPU is at full utilization because it is mining on its own, the GPU miners are not going to run as efficiently, especially if you have several GPUs in your rig. Second, if your rig is enclosed, you are dumping more heat from the CPU into the case and onto your video cards than if the CPU was idle. Since newer video cards throttle their clock speeds partly based on temperature, the increased heat may lower their hash rates. Finally, CPU miners tend to be a little buggy with newer algortihms, increasing the chance your rig will shut down when you're not around. For example, I tried mining HODL overnight and one of my rigs locked up because the CPU miner had a memory leak that caused it to consume over a gig of RAM in less than 8 hours.
If you really want to put your CPU to good use, try using Boinc or Folding@Home to earn some Gridcoin or CureCoin while doing useful scientific and medical research.

Anything worth cpu mining out there? Comp is on 24/7 anyway looking for some easy to mine coins if anyone knows of any cheers
Please take a look at Purk [PURK] - CPU + GPU mineable, ASIC Resistant Cryptocurrency for Donations, Tips & Private Payments.
Purk is based on Boolberry and CryptoNote technology and utilises the Wild Keccak algorithm which helps balance CPU, GPU and ASIC mining speeds...

YescryptR16 on ZergPool is pretty good right now on any decent CPU -- compared to other options anyway... doing about $0.63/Day on a Ryzen 1700X using 6 out of 8 cores (at $0.16 power cost/Day for me).
I am working up to adding ~200 kH or so of CPUs to it as I get time to switch over existing systems / finish configuring some systems that aren't done yet.
Buying NEW hardware expressly for CPU mining isn't a good investment right now... but used hardware / if you already have the hardware you can still make some money.

I have yet to hear of someone having an extraordinary time with CPU mining in the past 5-years or so. CPU mining is normally only considered when someone has a large amount of CPUs and very low electricity costs with adept hardware knowledge. This is because the profits are so minimal, and therefore the margins are very tight so the set-up has to be just right. Profitability has taken a large dip for miners recently and I wouldn't think now is the best time to get involved with CPU mining.
CPU mining is pretty much only worth it if you have an exceptional CPU like others have said. ETN is probably the best bet, but even then... the returns are pretty low.
As with any hardware, you also need to be careful when it comes to temperature and stability. I Mine ETN on one of my rigs, but I have a water cooling heatsink on it. I probably wouldn't bother if I couldn't keep the chip cool.

It'll use more electricity if you are mining. You probably will lose money.
That having been said, try BitCoal, IntenseCoin, or Electroneum.

Its completely nightmare to start with CPU mining bro. There are many people doing mining with asic and GPU rigs but in this time you are saying that. You wanna mine with the CPU means you have decided go in a wrong way.
There are some cheap and non worthy coins minable coins in the market. Even byte coin also possible with your CPU by using miner gate software but nothing worthy. More cost for power than you have bear for electricity.
You can try ITNS or ETN but it depends on what cpu do you have
