I found some numbers on the 5820K mining Magi.
http://cryptomining-blog.com/4491-cpu-mining-the-coin-magi-xmg-what-can-you-expect/

5820K seem pretty neat. The question is: Buy 2-3 more expensive cpus or go on several cheaper models and try to overclock them a bit.

If you want Magi what you do is build yourself some GPU rigs using Nvidia cards. I'm not sure if its the 750ti or not but there is a card out there that does most bang for the buck. Then mine the most profitable GPU coin, sell them and buy Magi. CPU mining can still be done with each GPU rig you build but I wouldn't bother with that shit, its just a waste of time and electricity.

CPU can indeed designed to mine but with results that are not in accordance with the price you spend on investment. no recommendation to mine through CPU

I am about to build 4-6 CPU rigs with stuff i have laying around since my GPU mining days.

I have alot of Asrock H81-Pro boards sitting in alu frames.
So. I am about to buy some Intel socket 1150 cpu:s now.

What cpu is the best bang for the buck here ? I5 or I7 ?

I would need some inputs here.

I prefer the GPU than the CPU
