Can these components I selected endure another 3-5 or even 7 years?

Why are you choosing an older 12th generation CPU for a $2600+ DDR5 build?

I thought a 12900k (Outdated? Yes) was a solid choice, plus DDR5 on Z690 doesn't really function optimally, which is why I switched to a Z790 instead of a Z690....
Also, I was discussing this with King Dranzer... he questioned my decision for the 12900k, but I informed him I genuinely wanted one, as I still consider it "high-end" in my opinion, but it is a better option than a 10900k or an 11700k.
Additionally, I already possess a 13700k in another build of mine (Main Rig), so why should I select a 13700 or 13700KF? Or go for a 13600k...
2021? That's not old yet; life progresses too quickly, clouding our judgment on things. Why purchase something new and shiny when the older item still serves its purpose well?
Yes, I still uphold my decision. Admittedly, the 12900k is outdated and gets outperformed by newer CPUs, but I overlook that because, at the end of the day, a CPU is a CPU. It's not like I'm suggesting to buy a 4790k or 8700k brand new in 2023....
Intel didn't create the 12900k for no reason; I chose a 12900k, and I will stand by my decision..... Yes, the $400 price is a bit steep... but the 12th Gen CPUs are not that bad and still deliver reasonable performance....
I believe the initial plan was for the 14th gen Meteor Lake to debut on desktop. However, this was postponed and will instead be substituted with Raptor Lake refresh, which will remain on LGA 1700. Next year, the 15th gen Arrow Lake will be launched, which will be an enhanced version of Meteor Lake on LGA 1851. As long as the board supports BIOS flashback, a 600 or 700 series board should work properly.
