A mid-range PC (i5 4590 + 750ti) from 2014 would be a perfectly fine computer to use even today, and probably wouldn’t draw all that much more power than a modern PC either. Things last longer now that hardware advancements are slowing down. You’d have to use Windows 10 LTSC though because driver support for Linux has been discontinued, lol.
