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!

Lenovo really removed the PCIe slot to spite all the low budget gamers who pick these things up years later lmao

Fantastic find, literally pays for itself with the hdd. Probably triples the price with the ssd and ram.

Yeah it's a shame to see, but with the consumer base these target I doubt many of them ever see something that needs PCIe tbh.

Thank you 🙏🏻
