I'm upgrading my circa 2014 PC this year, plan on rolling with this fella for another decade.

5 years here, a lower-end purchase to begin with. Still works fine. Only a few games I need to lower to True Potato settings to run.

Hey, mine is from 2014 too! runs linux and is fast enough for minecraft at 30fps and the sims 4.

My current PC is an asus rog with a gtx 1070 (and a piece of shit screen that gets all fucky if it heats) that I bought used, back in late 2019. The old hard drive failed some time ago and I had to change it, sometimes the main SSD seems to get strangely fucky (BSODs followed by disk scans), too, as does the memory (BSODs about "corrupted_page_memory", also complete freezes under Linux Mint, not even ctrl alt F1 worked), which makes me think the components aren't exactly high quality (considering how shitty the screen is and asus in general in the past years, that's no surprise)

Still, I fully intend to keep this bad boy as my main workhorse for at least another 2 years, possibly longer. After that, I'll probably relegate it to being the party game machine.

My $90US AWOW mini with Celeron J4125, 8 gigs of shared memory, 128gig SSD seems to run FreeDoom as good as any of the other potatos them GamerBoi fancy water cooled custom boxes have.........

I've been rocking a 1080ti since launch. Upgraded my 4th gen i7 to a 9th gen i9 on a sale a few years back. SSD upgraded when I got some that were going to be recycled.

Eventually I want to move to team red for linux compatibility. Other than that, I am sticking with what I have. (Doesn't help that I have 2 small children that all my money goes to. )

My main steed is an HP ZBook from 2014, and it is a powerful and fast computer.

I upgraded and the new graphics card makes a buzzing sound. It seems low quality despite the high price.

Same, same. Except I don't really play games, but use the computer for other hobbies. It's still plenty fast and does everything I need it to do. So why buy something that does exactly the same, just is newer and looks different?

I just bought a new machine!

It's a 2020 to replace my 2016 that I got in 2016.

This one should do for a while.

When talking about hardware, if it works for you keep using it till it doesn't work. But when talking about desktop operating systems, you should be aware when it loses security updates support and try to upgrade to different one that works for you but has better security updates.

Still on Sandy Lake/Fermi

I could say I still run my 2014 (or 15, I don't remember) PC, but it's Ship of Theseus'd at this point, the only OG parts left are the CPU, PSU, case, and mobo.

My wife is on a 1070 and I am on a 2070 both on 1440p her fave game is 7d2d runs perfect.

I usually wanted to upgrade my old PC (GTX970) 2 years ago, ended up buying a cheaper PS5 and a used MacBook for cheaper than the PC upgrade. PC still runs fine, is still in use. Also: the M1 MacBook Air is an emulation beast.
