This gets asked plenty around here…answer always the same, Threadripper or Core i9 with GTX1080Ti and 128GB RAM.  The Xeon is likely not better than the i7 but I didn’t lookup the exact specs. My relatively new Core i9 beast of a computer cost $6,000 if you want to explore all options in Pix4D and do it the fastest.  Compromise down to fit your budget but you need 3 main things, GHz, Cuda cores, and RAM. $500 won’t really get you close to the best possible Pix4D computer but you can improve your i7 with a new GPU.
