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.

(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.
