It depends on what you are using the CPU for. For someone like you and me, running IDEs and doing heavy web tasks, this is probably not good enough. For running spread sheets, face book, and youtube this is more then enough. Also, I'll take that computer off you. I'll turn it into a FreeNAS/webserver haha.

I am still looking to buy a new web server and am purposely not using that old desktop because it's such a power monster compared to an old laptop or so. It has a 500W PSU and while its idle/average power usage is probably more like 200W, that is still extremely inefficient.

  Well then you can use it as a house warmer. Put it in your room and use it as a space heater.

    I'm not there 24/7, so that's a waste of power too unfortunately. And turning it on when I'm there makes it into a shitty server, better use a heat pump then.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with all the autoplay video, javascript and such I'd think a facebook machine probably requires more memory and CPU power than a development machine.

  Facebook and youtube is perfectly fine on my AMD5350 machine. I also use this for development.

Very true, but capability to run spread sheets, facebook and youtube is hardly worthy of the 'Pro' moniker.
