Checked out a 9600k used for $65, a Gigabyte H370 motherboard for $55, and 2400MHz 2x8GB DDR4 at $25. Cooling works fine with existing coolers. Need more suggestions?

The Ryzen 5600 B450 board with 2x8GB 3200 RAM typically costs between $1,200 to $1,500 depending on the retailer and any ongoing promotions.

It's nearly worthless—just like scavenging in a dumpster... save about $150...

What scenario is this? The more recent gaming9600k faces challenges because it has just six threads. It often runs sluggishly. You can find free 8th or 9th generation i5 8400/9400 desktops nowadays.

You're spending a lot for something that could be made with basic components. It's smarter to gather parts from various places and avoid the $150 cost altogether. A local recycling center might also offer useful items.
