Guys, can you advice what is the best speed/price ratio from Core i5-i7 CPU family for launch LBC soft? Im going to participate and luckly it's time to upgrade my HW. Thanks.

Depends on your budget.

The https://ark.intel.com/products/123767/Intel-Core-i7-7820X-X-series-Processor-11M-Cache-up-to-4_30-GHz is a nice CPU with lots of potential.
Seems a 1950X Threadripper is even better.

Don't go for Vega{56,64} yet - lot's of trouble - AMD guys seem to need more time to provide sane drivers.

If I was to choose some MAX configuration, still in reasonable reach for the well funded individual, I'd probably go for a

1950X system with two 1080Ti GPUs - should give me 90-100 Mkeys/s now and XXXXX in the future.

If you want better price/performance ratio now, at the expense of less future potential, replace the 1080Ti with 1050Ti.

Rico thanks for answer.

Now I'm slecting MB and CPU only. Not GPUs. But I limited myself only with 1151 socket as 2066 CPUs/MBs overload my budget and also I don't like AMD. The second step will be GPUs but it's a little later.
What you say about https://ark.intel.com/ru/products/126686/Intel-Core-i7-8700-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4_60-GHz with MB https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B250-KRAIT-GAMING.html ? I'm not very familiar with modern HW so maybe there are better options. Any more advices ? Thanks.
