Not that old but my 2009 i5 750 can still rock most of the games at a solid 1080p. I added a fan and overclocked it to 3.6, some ram and a 1060 gpu. It now serves as our main streaming / gaming computer on the TV and shows no sign of giving up. Overall I've spent less than 650$ over 15 years on a computer that we use daily.
thats the main reason i still run desktops.
the modularity means you dont need special equipment or rare schematics to keep it working. or to upgrade one aspect of an otherwise adequate system.
I'm right there with you man.
(2010-2011? built) 2nd generation i7 with 32 GB of ddr3 and a freaking 3070ti slapped on top...
I'm pushing over 100 fps on a 2k screen still.
It just won't die!
I mean to upgrade soon tho. It's time...
