When does it make sense to upgrade this build?

GPU — GeForce RTX 4060 Ti

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti performs well today, but in 1–2 years the most demanding games will pressure its 16 GB of VRAM. A jump to the mid-high range will be interesting.

CPU — Core Ultra 5 245K

The Core Ultra 5 245K is not the bottleneck in this build. When you upgrade the GPU, this processor will still be valid.
