I also have a 2014-ish desktop. Over the years added an SSD and replaced the graphics card around 5 years ago.

I can still run most games on medium settings, even some new ones if they are properly optimized, but nothing crazy, 1080p.

I just started to feel that my rig is getting slower and even AA games become more demanding.

I fully support using hardware as long as possible to minimise e-waste and see no reason to upgrade a PC every 2-3 years.

Edit: typo

My old builds go to the wife and her old PCs upgrade my NAS. By the time I'm done using the hardware it's 10-12 years old. Wife only plays sims anyways. 2080 super is her upgrade to an AM4 3900x and 64gb of ram and 2) 2TB nvme drives. She will get plenty of life from that and then in 5 years, get my current rig. Cycle continues.
