I'm one of these people who's constantly on the lookout for the "next big thing" but have to bite the bullet eventually and buy some current hardware. I know this is a great PC build, but how future proof are we talking? I'm particularly aware of DDR5 RAM and some better CPUs on the horizon (as in, within the next year or two which is a huge wait for now). Do you think DDR4 and the 10600K would be a large issue for me going forward? Thanks for any input!
