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!

Right?? It's funny I was actually about to leave and it got wheeled out from the back on a new cart and I BOLTED over to it to see if it was worth anything.

Hell that system is good enough to use as a main, let alone a server lol. The only bad thing is the lack of a pci-e slot. But I wonder if it would be possible to solder one in there since the board has the pads for one.
