That's a really solid rig, and you shouldn't have to worry about upgrading for a long time. I'd say that it's capable for 5 years or more, depending on how much DirectX 12 will change things, and if games become more demanding.

Until you aren't happy with the results. Intel hasn't made major gains in the CPU processing power in a long time. Each generation is about 10% better than the previous. GPUs are the only thing that right now require updating very couple years for Ultra settings.
