My desktop PC has an AMD Athlon II X2 260, which was released in 2010, although I don't remember when I got it. I think I upgraded the CPU/motherboard/RAM and kept the rest. I do have some modern components though, like a cheap mechanical keyboard I got a couple of years ago, and I replaced the monitor at some point because the old one stopped working (and I wasn't able to fix it). Installing a ~120GB SSD was a big win too. I use this PC all the time, I'm not much of a phone user (and my phone is similarly obsolete). I keep the software up-to-date, and currently use MX Linux.
Occasionally, I take a look at refurbished computers on eBay or whereever, and find systems with CPUs that are 2 or 3 times faster for a couple of hundred dollars, but it doesn't really seem worth it.
