I don't know. I'd like to believe that my upcoming specs:

i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Quad Core

EVGA GeForce GTX 690

16GB DDR3 RAM

SSD

2TB HDD

...would be as future proof as they come (right now, I'm pretty sure they can run any game without a hitch at all). In two years or so, these might be obsolete (possibly sooner).

They will not  be outdated in two years.

Not saying it for sure, but with the speed of tech, I rule nothing out.

Just take a look at what was the best available VGA card(s) 2 years ago and you'll see that they are still 3rd and 4th tier cards in the entire hierarchy of VGA cards.

2008's HD4870x2 and GTX295 are still at the top of the 4th tier.

Generally, it's not recommended to bother updating VGA cards unless the new set up is 3 tiers higher or one has enough disposable income to buy minor top of the line updates every year with no regard to price/performance.
