I had an i5-750 with Maxwell GPU behind the TV for games with kids. It worked fine for a lot of things, but it ran out of CPU with Subnautica, which isn't exactly a AAA title, and I wasn't playing it when it first came out, but rather after updates presumably settled down, around 2018+. Overclocking may have given it a longer life, but I generally don't mess with that. If USB3 had been the problem, a USB3 card would be cheap. At about the same time I added a USB3 card to my main desktop for better SD card read/write speeds. I spend more on a good USB3 SD reader than I did on the USB3 card. Now the gaming PC is up to an i5-6500 with GTX1060. It is hanging in there fine for now. I'm only itching to upgrade it for Windows 11 support, but I don't really need Windows 11 on that machine.
