Reliable configuration

Hello,
I wanted to ask a question, but do you think these two components have good scalability and will be able to handle the next generation of games without too much of a downgrade? I prefer to play at 1440.
*rtx 5060 ti 16go
*ryzen 7 5800x3d
I was possibly looking to build a mid-range setup that could be sustainable. I know the processor is a bit outdated, but my motherboard is still in AM4 format and I believe I can't necessarily put the very latest processors on it.
Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hello
Yes, for the graphics card. For at least two years.
The processor is getting old and its potential upgrade on its motherboard is limited.
Today, AMD is on the AM5 socket, which is not the case here. To ensure longevity, you need to get the latest releases.
Thanks for the feedback. In that case, it might be better for me to wait to make a change. My setup is very recent, just about a year old, and I still have quite a few games to play that can run well on my current configuration. Plus, I'll already have the SSD, RAM, and the screen, so more budget for the rest.

Be careful with the RAM, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D uses DDR4, while the new generations use DDR5 (although it's possible to use them on DDR4 boards as well, performance-wise it's disastrous).
That said, there's no rush; your 5800x3D is still up to par for 99% of situations and games. You can be at ease for at least another two years with it, and by then, new generations of processors and graphics cards will have come out.
Sorry, that wasn't clear. These are components I was considering for an upgrade. Currently, I'm on a 4060 8GB and Ryzen 5 5500 for a year on an AM4 motherboard. Two years seems short for a relatively costly upgrade after one year. I would prefer something that lasts longer. That's why I think I’ll wait and stick to current games that aren't too demanding or older ones to make the most of what I already have. (I dream of playing Cyberpunk ^^)
Oh okay, I didn’t understand it that way indeed.
But that doesn’t change much in my initial comment, nothing to say about the graphics card, but for the processor, it’s better to aim for a Ryzen 5 7600XT rather than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D because it's more performant and significantly cheaper, and it's DDR5. Or a Ryzen 7 7800X
So it’s a difficult case....
It’s a good brand but they don’t manufacture their own power supplies, and this one has two 12v rails... to explain, modern power supplies are based on a single 12v rail, meaning that all the power of the supply is dedicated to a single wiring. This architecture has been imposed for gaming PCs requiring high power for modern graphics cards. This is not the case for others, like yours.
That being said, bequiet guarantees 300w on the 12VHPWR connector of your power supply, you could theoretically keep it provided that you connect the graphics card to the 12VHPWR of the power supply, you need to check for the presence of this connector on the graphics card before purchasing it.
Otherwise, you need to change the power supply for a more powerful one, at least 650w, single rail.
Edit.
In tests, the 5060ti is said to require 200w at full load, so your power supply should be sufficient even on an 8-pin connector. You can keep it.
