They resemble each other somewhat. Graphics are CPU-bound, with FPS determined by the CPU instead of the GPU. For example, it might take around 7 days to complete.
True, but here is my issue: ddr3 came out in 2007, and ddr4 came out in 2014. If we take that logic, a new, faster iteration comes out every 7 years. Thus, we are expected to get ddr5 in 2021, a mere 1.3 years from now. Any current mb won't handle that. It is the promise of a overhaul such as that, that has me concerned.

Absolutely, I'll also gather additional resources to cover technical needs once it's ready. Expanding my current investments is definitely a plan.
The smartest approach to future-proofing your hardware is investing in premium components and planning ahead. Instead of chasing the latest models, focus on reliable upgrades that extend your system’s lifespan. For example, choosing a solid motherboard and a capable CPU can make a big difference without breaking the bank. If you're already using a decent setup, consider adding a Ryzen 3600 with an RX5700XT later when the next generation arrives. This way, you can upgrade parts gradually and avoid losing value quickly. It’s better to spend wisely now than to chase trends that don’t last.
