Consider the software available too. In 2 to 3 years, you're going to want to upgrade your gpu, that's the only "future proofing" you need to plan for right now. Drdr4 won't be necessary for quite some time and by then your not going to upgrade your going to replace.
Buy a good cause and good mb today and don't mess with them, buy a new gpu and more ram in a couple years and you will get all youcan out of your mb and cpu.

The relevance of DDR4 is that by the time you want to upgrade the CPU, the CPU you want to upgrade to will require DDR4, and hence a new socket and a new motherboard. Choose wisely now and that could be several years away, though--or maybe long enough that DDR4 is obsolete by then, even.
