My current desktop I bought with my own money is from 2012. I selected my components based on low wattage, not based on highest specs, because the computer previous to that, a Xeon server, used 200 watts idle and it cost me at least $50/month in electricity.
I've been using this computer since then, with absolutely no reason to upgrade. The only thing I would need more horsepower for these days is ripping/transcoding video faster or editing video faster. I ran into issues playing 4K video and thought I was processor-limited, but it turns out it was my codec was also from 2012 and when I upgraded that, everything was fine.
Even at work, I'm still on a 2015 Macbook Pro because I refuse to upgrade based on those fucking Touchbars.
