Buying a motherboard now isn't exactly a bad thing - when DDR5 comes out, it's still going to be worse, or the same as a good kit of DDR4, and ultimately won't be that much of a problem.
If you're looking at PCI-e 4.0, I wouldn't worry, modern (highest end) GPUs barely use more than x8 PCI-e 3.0 lanes. You won't encounter any bandwidth related issues (if you're only gaming, I can't speak for other workloads) if you're using any GPU on a PCI-e 3.0 motherboard/CPU.
Motherboards aren't something that really need all that much 'futureproofing'(*) - Just buy a board with the Socket, VRM, and features you want, and put the best CPU you can in it. Chances are there's going to be way better stuff out before you need to upgrade (especially how the market of hardware is actually moving forward and being competitive again.) You should easily be able to use something like a 3600/x, or 5600x for several generations, they're not bad CPUs, and have more than enough threads to handle pretty much any gaming workload, and whatever else you want in the background too.
(* - 'Futureproofing' is a dumb concept, you cannot futureproof an ever changing and progressing market. Hardware can be bought to last you a long time, but you will never get hardware that is good enough forever.)
Those times where complacent companies could release tiny upgrades and still be competitive are thankfully pretty much over thanks to the raise of AMD so it means increased rate of development for all parties.
You can gamble and spend more on a motherboard with upgrade options.
Maybe more NVMe slots , 4 memory slots instead of 2 and and good power delivery to the CPU.
AM5 or whatever it is called I think it will be a very expensive setup to buy.
All DDR5 has error correction as standard so a more expensive controller needed in the CPU.
It means the memory will be expensive.
PCi express 5 it seems will become the norm so the motherboard will have to be very well engineered and expensive. That also puts extra cost onto the CPU.
There is no guarantee it will perform well for games. Maybe after a generation or two.
My guess is that investing in a good AM4 motherboard with 4 memory slots and a recent ryzen 9 CPU will do well. The ample single core performance and having many of them combined with a large CPU cache may last well.
Of course I could be completely wrong.
"Future-proof" is a clever marketing term and gimmick. It makes one believe that by investing heavily in some current tech, anything that comes out in the next 2-5 years won't touch it. I don't fall for it simply because money does not grow on trees around here.
I think some people are letting their imaginations are running wild, and don't know their history, or assume the change from PCI-E 3.0 to 4.0 is radically different from previous version updates. There's always people that get themselves worked up into fuss that evolutionary changes are earth shattering events that make everything completely obsolete.
On the CPU side of things, Intel changes their socket every couple of releases anyway and that makes CPU upgrades pretty uneconomical. AMD is certainly better about it, they probably can't use AM4 forever, and arguably with how long a CPU is viable these days by the time you're in the market for an upgrade it might be worth it to get a new motherboard anyway. So for me CPU upgrades really only make sense if you buy a fairly modest CPU initially and want to upgrade to something near the top end of what the socket supports. But that could just be my biases that upgrades "ought" to provide a decent performance increase.
Long run, it doesn't really matter. There's always a reason not to buy, always some new thing on the horizon to wait for. There's usually not a optimal time to buy. If there is you might only recognize it in hindsight. If you need a PC right now I'm sure there's a combination of hardware that meets your budget and needs even if it's not the dream configuration everyone else thinks you should wait for.
2. DDR5 releasing on mainstream consumer motherboards is moot; games do not benefit from RAM faster than 3200 MHz for the most part, as the difference between the cheapest 3200 CL16 kits and the most expensive top end 4000+ DDR4 kits show literally a few FPS at best. DDR5 will be virtually pointless for gamers and will only matter for heavy application use at first, assuming people are using applications that can actually benefit from such a high speed, as well as CPUs that even support that memory standard. It won't be a problem any time soon for anyone.
3. Intel won't change from their LGA1200 type socket because they JUST changed to it, and it's mere speculation that AMD COULD phase out AM4 and replace it with AM4+ or AM5, it has not been confirmed. AMD won't confirm that until they need to, because people will be less inclined to buy their products if they know it's on a dying socket standard that won't be compatible down the line. They made that mistake when they originally planned to cut out 400 series motherboard support for the 4th generation of Ryzen processors (Ryzen 5000/Zen3) and had to redact it because of backlash.
4. There is no such thing as futureproofing, especially now that AMD is at its peak performance in over a decade. It's just an excuse for people to spend more money than they need to for things they don't actually need so they feel better about overspending. Of course, retailers eat it up because it gives them a reason to upsell you more expensive hardware.
No matter what you do, your GPU will be basically obsolete in ~5 years (depending on how much AMD and NVIDIA are advancing as well as gaming standards) and your CPU will always become obsolete with 10 years, potentially less due to rampant competition between AMD and Intel since 2017. CPUs have come very far within the last 3~4 years.
- PSU
- Case
- Fans
- Fan controller
- Peripheral devices (mosue, keyboard, monitor)
- Soundcards
- Capture cards
- sleeved cables
- Quality coolers
- RGB controller and devices (RGB strips etc.)
drives have about a 10 year lifespan
fans are iffy, they will fail after around 5-10 years
new case can have better airflow and more modern usb ports, but atx/m-atx/itx will work with those boards
best to buy a cpu/mobo/ram combo for them to stay together for future upgrade projects
If you buy any top-end or even sami-top hardware at any given year, it will last comfortably for next at least 5+ years. For example, 5 years old GTX 1080Ti is still a really great card (more powerful than RTX 2070 Super) and it will last for ANOTHER couple of YEARS no problem 1440p 144Hz display. So if you buy RTX 3070 (which is more powerful than 2080Ti) or RTX 3080, it will easily do the same.
Same goes with CPU, A 3+ years old i7 8700k has still *almost* same gaming performance as any top-end CPU at the current moment, better than any Ryzen to date (except for maybe only Ryzen 5000 series, maybe). And it will last for another many-many years no problem.
So yeah, There are FUTURE PROOFING.
Buy sensible, it's more effective and cheaper in the long run. Buying the latest and the greatest is for people with a large disposable income or PC gaming as their primary and only hobby.
You cannot build a futureproof computer, it's not possible - anything you build will be left behind in a decade. (Now, that's usually more than it's usable life, but the suffix -proof means that it will not be left behind from any future progression or evolution.
There are very few things on a desktop computer that are truly futureproof.
As for the 8700k claim, that's not true, look at any benchmark, it claims otherwise - unless you've got a GPU bottleneck, or you limit the FPS.
And, the 3600x matches the performance of the 8700k (with no overclock.)
Well stated. No one can predict what will actually happen a year from now, let alone two or more. So the value of the term "future-proof" is mainly in how it shapes your thinking and influence you on how you spend your money.
