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.

There are enough CPU-only coins. Try ZOI, MAGI, VRM, HEXX. You can check your possible profitability by using YIIMP Bench web-page. I think CPU-mining is a long term investment so choose a coin, mine it for 2-3 month and forget about it for 2-4 month and The profit can be good.

How can I mine these CPU coins? Never heard of them?

You can search for them. But most of the coins so called to be CPU-only are in a short time realized to be minable with other computing graphics cards with some tweaks. So, the CPU mining profit works only with the new coins.
Use your hardware for your choice of coin, trying new coins from your CPU. Who knows, what coin will be the next hit.
