It does not come with a GPU but I already have an RX 480. Should I jump on this deal, or is it too good to be true? Would I need to upgrade the mobo? I know that model is pretty old.
Admittedly I'm a little skeptical because it seems like this is a good deal considering the price of the CPU alone. What do you all think?
Edit: Even with the fact that the CPU is only that expensive because it isn't made anymore, this still seems like a good deal.
