It is hard to make profit with low ROI now. But if you do not want to let you mining rig's CPU idle. Then you can use it to mine some potential coins to keep, which you think the coin had future.
If your primary goal is profit, don't expect to make much, if anything (depending on your electricity rate and if you're willing to shorten the life of your hardware).
You could try NiceHash to run a variety of benchmarks to see about how well your i7 performs on various algorithms. The benchmarks are generally good guidelines, although NiceHash sometimes skips out on mining software that could perform better. (For example, EWBF's Zcash miner gave me significantly better results than whatever NiceHash has for CUDA devices mining Zcash.) I would definitely not recommend actually using NiceHash for what you're trying to do, though. Only using a CPU would mean you'd have quite a long time before you reached the minimum payout threshold that they require.
I'd stick with GPU mining, but it's your hardware.

Ok thanks for the advice. Perhaps I will just forget about it. Better to have a working CPU for a long time since the profits are so small.
GPU is better cuz they earn their cost back faster and is easier to replace.
Even in GPU nowadays there is a risk you will not ROI or make their cost faster as their performance has decreased a lot. Now the ROI for one card has gone from 2.5 -6 months was a few months ago to 11-13 months ROI so during this time the card may become faulty.

Is there any coin worth mining with an i7-7700?
I looked into Monero, but it doesn't seem profitable. I am mining SIGT with 2xGPU, but I thought I might aswell put my CPU to use when I'm not using it.
