Mmm, yeah in BF4 and Arma you should see a difference in upgrading the CPU.

Both those games like threads/cpu's in general.

 

Do you only do gaming though? If so, go for a i5 4690K.

And upgrade your GPU. (because getting an i5 will save you some)

I would wait to upgrade the gpu though. See what AMD brings out with their 300 series.

Depends on where you live.

If you're in a region where they use the €, it's probably not that smart to wait  even longer.

GPU's are getting more expensive here.

I'm not sure if a 4790K is worth it over the 4690K if you only do a bit of video editing

Good point. In that case sooner may be better.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

That is one of the reasons why location is often so important for a build or advice.

I'd say probably not.

Pricing and availability isn't that important for buying things. Oh, wait...
