Futureproofing my PC

I was thinking on what should I buy in order to futureproof my PC, but doesnt cost an insane amount.

Kind of a budget future proof if you know what I mean.

 

Are the current X570 motherboards futureproof enough?

Whats the best value from the Ryzen 9 series thats best value? I try to avoid Intel at all costs, unless a huge sale.

What are your current specs?

I build computers and networks. Fibre Optic is my only dream imaginable. 

Studying for my CompTIA A+ and my CCNA, if you have any tips, let me know please!

An upgrade to a ryzen 7 3700x would be a pretty good future proof. I would also get faster ram, as it helps improve your cpu performance.
