Will this motherboard work with a 4820k

I got a 4930k for really cheap, and I put it into my current MSI motherboard. I'm not exactly sure what to do with my old 4820k, so I thought why not use my old PC parts to create a new PC! 

So I found out that LGA 2011 socket motherboards are really expensive, and so far this is the only reasonably priced board I can find, but its a garbage board from an old Dell machine.

So bottom line I'm asking:

Would this motherboard work with my 4820k?

and/or

Where could I find a better motherboard for less than 60 dollars?

 

Thankyou! :)

You're right. They are really expensive. and tbh I don't think that motherboard will work, looking at the IO, it looks like it would only fit inside the case it was designed for. I couldn't find anything either except a China ITX board ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/X79-LGA-2011-E5-4-Channels-Desktop-Computer-Mainboard-Gaming-Motherboard/202651329784?hash=item2f2ef5e4f8:g:TcoAAOSwZ~dcrzLn
Maybe you're better off selling the CPU?

A quick google here and there doesn't show anyone successfully using that CPU with that system, and the official supported list from Dell are all Xeon.  I'd look for something else if possible.

You will love the 4930k it overclocks well and has 12 threads and is still relevant today.  The 4820k will need a new motherboard as that Dell machine won't cut the rug.  It is a big hassle to find a 7 year old motherboard to fit with the 4820k.  Sell the CPU as Wufflez said along with any left over parts you have and put it towards more RAM or a SSD or something.

Would either of these boards work? They're definitely for xeon but I think these boards are a bit more consumer than the one I posted originally, so I would assume they would work?

Here is the problem.  The first link is socket 2011 so it will work however the BIOS will be locked and you can't overclock.  This defeats the purpose of this whole project your on.  A 4820k at stock is not very impressive.  The Lenovo will also have a locked BIOS and you can't overclock.  See these vendors like Dell or HP or Lenovo ; They don't sell to the enthusiast market, they are more for a workstation for businesses and individual users who know very little about PC computing let alone overclocking and what not.
