You could always update parts when later in it's life. That's the bright side to a desktop.

That's pretty standard, also the psu won't power it.
You need 700+ watts
Probably 1kW with two GPU's.

Nothing is future proof.

It will last three years, IF you get a 1k+ PSU, which sometimes if you're lucky you can find them for $100 (80 plus bronze rated psu)
