That's not entirely true. With primecoin solo and pool mining (single PC) worked out for more then one week. You could easily mine Quark for months. Stupid me mined ony 4K, just because i was to lazy to read and understand the paramenters of quark.Even scrypt coins can be worth cpu mining, as long as they are not on a exchange. Scrypt-jane and quark type coins even after they gain some value.

5k seems to be terribly low for a i7 3770. A 7850 is not bad. Last week i decided to get a little bit more serious about mining. Was told that 7950 is out of stock and S9 280 is not available before next month (Hungary). All i got was a 7770 . Well, still better than my old Geforce 9800 and it gives me some time to think about a dedicated mining rig.
