no worries. I aim for 3 years for my machines, but then I'm a gamer so they get out dated quickly... a decent machine should last you 5... just don't forget Nvme hard drive (not m2.SSD), and throw as much ram as you can afford (32 is probably fine, but ram is low price atm).
I guess it's rare now, but M2 SSD used to be interchangeable with "m2 SATA" rather than m2 NVME. Basically a SATA SSD with an m2 connector (think laptops still use them). Also some older motherboards don't support anything other than m2 SATA.
