And are 2x 140mm pre installed fans + CPU/GPU own fans enough cooling?

 
The order is done. The processor got changed to a i5 7600k instead of a 7600, due to some logistics reason. But they didn't charge me anything so fine by me 😀

5 years? of course your system will last, I would go with the latest chip sets Z270, at least 2600 mhz ram, cpu i7-7700K and GTX1080Ti, this is a 5 year plan, sorry...just save a little longer or have a garage sale, you won't regretted it!
 
Crazy. No one knows what will happen next week never mind in 5 years. No one.
You're really looking for what is best now in the hope that it will still be ok in the future.

or to be more truthfull
