And as SimMike777 pointed out you do need your own video/graphics card if you install this there are no integrated graphics.
Also I'm fairly certain you'll need a CPU cooler which does not come bundled with the CPU unlike the less expensive (and less powerful) AMD Ryzen models... on the recommendation of others I talked to online and my online research I grabbed this cooler
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...=UTF8
although strangely enough the white version with RGB lighting is now less expensive than the "plain old black no RGB" fans version I got
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...=UTF8
I'm fairly certain that mechanically speaking they both provide the same level of cooling .. if the link I gave above doesn't work do a search by asin number B09P4KH7QK on amazon's website .. it's the "Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE "
I've been happy with the cooler's performance as far as CPU temp's though I should point out I have what some have called an "overkill" of PC case fans (two 140 mm fans in the front, one 140 mm fan on top and one 140 mm case fan in the back) and a mid tower sized case fan which I'm guessing also helps with airflow.
Here's the tom's hardware review on it (the white one I linked runs for about the $40 tom's hardware talks about no idea why they suddenly hiked the price on the black non RGG fan one)

Also I've been told by wiser tech heads than myself that the bargain priced arctic thermal paste MX-4 despite being an older "model" of the paste will still work just fine and is currently on sale now at $5 and some change for the 4 gram tube version
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
If you're a newbie like me and didn't know this grab some 90 percent rubbing alcohol (cheap at your local walmart or cvs or what not ) and, oddly enough, paper coffee filters which will help you wipe off thermal paste if need be without leaving behind cloth fibers that can apparently mess with the whole dispersing heat thing
One other thing which applies to cheapskates like me who still had their AMD FX CPU
while it does a great job in my opinion of cooling this exact same CPU that I have installed in my PC, it is a BIG cooler... you'll want to look at the measurements given for it on the amazon website, break out a ruler or tape measure (hopefully not conductive or otherwise having any metal parts in it - maybe you have a plastic ruler lying around) and do some measuring inside your PC case to make sure you can fit it in there.
Also if you do wind up getting this cooler I found this cpu cooler install video for it to be very helpful

and here's the "official" video for how to install it from the manufacturer but I'd watch the above video too anyways
