Anyone know what CPU this is?

I can’t tell, maybe its impossible. Tell me what you think, and is it worth buying?

Core i5-2500 (non-K best I can tell)

I would say $50 is about average, maybe on the higher side.

it is an i5-2500, and its price is "okay" but it depends on what you need it for, i dont think its worth getting because its 7 years old, the Ryzen 3 1200 is a bit faster than it, and that costs 94$ on amazon.

and im pretty sure a used Ryzen 3 1200 would cost the same or less than that, plus you get all the "2018" features with the newer motherboard.

I feel like if it was a K, it would say on the IHS.

Yah, I couldn't see a K on the IHS but it's tough to read as is so I wasn't sure if I missed it

There's a clear spot where I could read i5-2500, and a bit beyond that is empty. Looks like a non-K.

Thanks, dont people still run these in older builds with a 780/970/1060 level gpu sometimes? and are motherboards hard to find? 

 

I feel like ot’s probably not worth bothering,  

edit: ive seen 2500ks in some rigs but never a 2500 on second though

Motherboards usually aren't too hard to find, but they can be pricey.

I'd try for a 1366 mobo + X5650 ($30 on average) as you get an overclockable 6c/12t chip that is on par with a 1600.  If you can find a good deal on a mobo it's the BEST value for money aside for X79 with a $150 xeon

You can get them on ebay for 50$ buy it now with free shipping, more like 35 at auction. Not worth buying at this price.
