An i7 2600k, Z77 Sabertooth TUF and 32GB of DDR3 16gb are left over from my brother's upgrade to Ryzen 7 1700x and the DDR4 RAM platform.
How long, since my brother never overclocked or overheated his 2600k, should I expect on a relatively unused Seasonic power supply and Asus motherboard to last for a Windows productivity build? We're talking at the maximum a YouTube video at 720p, if that. In general, I'm curious as to the longevity of current hardware at absolutely base minimum usage. Excel and Word users especially welcome.

It's tough to say. I have an operational 10+ year old rig with all original parts. Others built around the same time had various component failures--PSU and RAM come to mind, neither lost under any stress. All of this applies to newer computers too.

I have a core2duo/4gb/ssd/9800gt still working that my mom uses for Photoshop and illustrator, it's OK. Yours could last 5 years on demanding work, maybe 10 on easy work

Whip up an AM1 build if you'd prefer new parts, you can keep it under 100$ pretty easily.
But if youre content with the condition of your older parts, yeah, that shit will be fine for a long time.
A sempron 3850, ecs mini itx am1 mobo, 4gb of ddr3, cheap psu/case/storage will be like 100 bucks and will be enough for 1080p streaming, shitposting, etc
With a GT 710 thrown in it, mine plays skyrim in 720p at medium/high settings at 30fps

i dont play enough where the rs3 features really bother me, i just turned off eoc combat features and stuck with the oldschool UI, so im basically left with graphical improvements and stupid HP and damage values
dont get me wrong, i loved RS2, but for me there wasnt much difference and i didnt want to restart from scratch

shit from the 80s still works.
the only reason most computers failed is the chinks made bad electrolytic capacitors from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s. the caps in the power supplies and on the motherboards failed causing either immediate inoperability or even worse, stopped smoothing the electric and allowed little power surges to damage more critical components.
hopefully we are past that now. Id expect it to last many years.

It gets pretty random, I have a Pentium Pro that's still alive after near constant use. Have it as a NAS currently.

Isn't 90% of the map dead content anyway?
Every time i log in and walked around for a bit I felt like i was the only player online
even the grand exchange is fucking deserted compared to 2008
