changing chainrings

Hello,

I currently have a shimano 105 5700 triple chainset 50-39-30 with an 11-34 cassette.
According to the derailleurs capacity, i should have for a maximum a 32T cassette but this 34 worked well the few times i had to use it.

I would like to be sure that if I buy a 53T and a 34T chainring to make a triple 53-39-34, it wouldn't cause any problem in the capacity side of things.
I could change the 39T in something like a 42T to match the wears and to have a consistent spacing between each rings if that can help the FD.
I could also later on when changing the cassette (i believe i can get more km's out of this cassette) go for a 11-32T one

Thanks for your attention
