Like Bat.1 said. The "old stuff is very commonplace" because it is cheaper in price. Not much "new stuff here". An AMD A4/A8 would last me about 10 years. I do not need a dedicated graphics card. An AMD system will run about 220 Dollars. (NEW). My parents have passed away. I do NOT need an SSD. I will not use 10 because it will not run my program. Not because it is slow. You cannot get much slower than a core 2 duo and i am happy with my system.
