future proof? not at all. Hate the use of that term. Nothing is future proof.
As for a realistic answer.. It is likely you will be playing games at ultra/high/medium graphics settings for the next few years. All depending on how demanding the game you will be trying to play is.

Anywhere in the 1050-1150 MHz range on the core clock. Might be able to bump the memory up to 1500 (6000 MHz effective) from the stock 1250 (5000 MHz effective), but may need to add voltage. You will find our just how far you can go when you start dialing in your overclock and testing.
