Upgrading or Saving?

Hey guys, you may (or probably may not have) seen some of my posts on my computer problems/upgrades.

 

Dont know the details but my motherboard just wasn't performing well when i plugged peripherals into it and my monitors were also flickering. This could have also been my PSU.

 

So basically my question is: Should I buy a new Z77 motherboard or should I just wait until the next generation of intel processors and chipsets?

Z77 is old. Z97 is the newest and we will most likely see Z107 coming out for broadwell.

Sorry, I worded it wrongly, I meant, should I save up and in the mean time just wait to see what comes out. Since I have a 3570k, i dont think I can upgrade to Z97 yet, so i'll save and see what i can get best at the time.

Why would they need a z107 if they are already going to use the z97?

We didnt need Z97 for Haswell yet we still got it.
