Future proofing doesn't really exist. With that said, you've got a perfectly competent 8 core CPU on a brand new chipset, 32gb of reasonably high spec'd ram, and literally the best GPU available. So it's about as future proofed as you're going to get in in August of 2023.

To build on what the others have said, to have a "future proof" system which will play top-end new releases has a shelf life of around 5-7 years (assuming no other upgrades are done).
Don't get me wrong, that's a pretty beefy system, but then so was my last gaming laptop (i7, GTX 1070 with 8GB VRAM, 12 GB RAM, running on an SSD) back in late 2017. I could barely get Hogwarts to run on it even with all the video settings turned to their lowest settings.
It's not just horsepower (which does have a lot to do with it) but it's the keeping up with new technology (like raytracing, for example).

I mean that should reasonably last you 5 years at a minimum. I’m still running a 2070 super / i5 10600k since 2019.
