It's amazing how long people have had performant productive systems with Ivy Bridge CPUs and Pascal based GPUs (NVidia 10xx parts)... If it wasn't for many of these older boards not having a TPM for Windows 11 support I'd have probably gotten years more still out of similar systems I own too. My similar Pascal equipped build has to have been one of the best value systems I've ever owned - I've bought two Macs in the same timeframe this box served as my gaming rig/desktop PC. Granted these were MacBooks so not fairest fight, but I've never had any computer last me as long as this PC build has. My 1080ti has been one of best PC part investments I've made; if you ignore lack of Ray Tracing its still able to knock 60fps/1440p in just about anything, a god-send during these chip/GPU shortage times.
