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. )
Hey, mine is from 2014 too! runs linux and is fast enough for minecraft at 30fps and the sims 4.
there is no way in hell a 2014 computer is able to run modern games on medium settings at all, let alone running well. my four year old computer (Ryzen 5 4000, GTX 1650, 16 GB RAM) can barely get 30-40 fps on most modern games at 1080p even on the absolute lowest settings. don't get me wrong, it should still work fine. however, almost no modern games are optimized at all and the "low" settings are all super fucking high now, so anon is lying out of his ass.

My PC was made in 2014 and i upgraded it but it died in 2022 due to mishandling. If you keep your PC clean and don't move it it can last even longer!
My i5 3450 is really showing its limits, but I'm broke as fuck 🤷
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.

Just a heads up that this isn't an acronym people know. I consider myself knowledgeable about gaming, and I had to look it up.

My main steed is an HP ZBook from 2014, and it is a powerful and fast computer.
I had to replace my computer because it died.
I upgraded and the new graphics card makes a buzzing sound. It seems low quality despite the high price.

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.
The hw might've been cheaper but a console will end up being more expensive than a pc in the long run. Not to mention that the only input method available is a controller. There are quite a few games I would only olay with a kb+mouse so, for some people, a console is not even an option.
