To me, the important thing is memory. I'm still using an i5 from 2013 that I built from scratch, but it's had 32GB RAM in it for most of that time and is good for most of what I do. Mind you, I do run Linux and don't bother with action games (graphics controller is a GTX750) and it's still perfectly adequate for that. It got fitted with an SSD for /usr some time ago (when 64GB was a lot) to keep the program load speed up, but otherwise it's pretty much the same as it started apart from the extra pound or two of dust inside it.
