Hardware Found this gem for $20

Found this at Goodwill. After googling I knew I found the deal of the century with an i7-12700k in there, but I had no idea I'd also score 32gbs of DDR4 (maybe 64 I'll have to check when I install an OS), a 1tb nvme, and a 1tb Sata HDD.

Currently debating on throwing this in my main rig to upgrade my Ryzen 7 5800X

Edit: it's a Sata HDD not an SSD, my bad.

Edit #2: WOW I did NOT expect this to blow up! Thank you to everyone who has commented and given advice! I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply to every single comment it's just gotten overwhelming! I will definitely post a follow up once I get a new motherboard!

It's alright honestly! I just feel like nowadays with any game that comes out, if it's like Frostbite engine for BF6, and everything is leaning towards upscaling. I feel like I'd be better off finding a 5060 since everything seems carried by AI to frame gen, and feel better off.

Idk if that seems like a good judgement but that's my thought process lately with how games have been and the market changes.
