Somehow my computer was infected with Rotor ransomware virus. I have contacted hackers and they told me to pay 7 bitcoins. They are insane! Is there any other way to recover at least few of corrupted files? I am not going to pay so much money…

You are absolutely right, paying the ransom is not an option. Before thinking about data recovery, you have to remove Rotor virus first. For doing it you will need a strong malware removal program (e.g. FortectIntego, SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner). Then, follow our virus removal instructions presented at the article Rotor ransomware virus. How to Remove?.
After virus elimination, you can recover files from backup copies. However, if you don't have them, you can use additional methods. You can employ Data Recovery Pro tool, try to use ShadowExplorer and Windows Previous Version feature. Instructions how to apply these methods are delivered at the end of the previously mentioned article.
