I'm sure many of you are tired of answering this question but I'm a bit out of the loop so I need to ask it.  Tax returns will be coming for me in a week or so and I'm wanting to do an upgrade on my rig.  So what I want to  know is:  Should I get the 4790K and new mobo I've had my eye on?  Or does it make sense to wait for the next round of CPUs/mobos?  The big reason I ask is I have no idea how far along in the cycle we are right now and don't know when to expect the next release.  All tips, advice, and insight are appreciated.  Thanks.
