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They will not  be outdated in two years.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.

Well there is probably DDR4, Intel's next architecture tick, Nvidias GK100 chip or AMD's 28nm refresh. But seriously no mortal man will notice if you used an i5 3450 or equivalent. Besides Intel likes to change the pin outs on their 'tick' cycle so you may not even be able to upgrade to the latest. In any case I wouldn't personally go for a major PC hardware upgrade until I knew what the PS4 and XB3 were packing, far too easy to overshoot or undershoot at this point.
