I built a desktop rig for my dad back in 2013 with an i3-3220. Seven years later it still works just fine for his needs. The only thing I changed over the years was to add a bit more RAM. I don't plan on updating it unless the CPU/mobo dies.

Yeah - it's great. I'm rocking a 2008 Nehalem at home, having since doubled the memory to 12GB, upgraded the GPU and replaced a failed PSU. It runs like a champ and my non-techie friends think I'm kidding when I say it's more than 10 years old.

It’s because an equally priced 2020 intel cpu is at most twice as fast as your Nehalem (now you can get a 6core for the same money you got your 4core). Per core performance improvement is not even close to twice as fast.
