well, base on your budget, and cpu you pick
normaly, a pc for 5 year will not be an issue
but if you want it up to 10 years, you may want to use i7 cpu as well
so....well, for the future upgrade, a nice z170 motherboard with a i7 or i5 k series cpu is a good start
try msi z170a gaming pro carbon, and i5 6600k
