A tiny upgrade

So i've finally made a rough budget of $500 for my new build(Tower only) . But everything's screwed up...

I've chosen an ASUS B85 Pro-Gamer motherboard , I want to upgrade to a 5th gen CPU later , but should I buy a 9 series motherboard for that ??? ...
For Haswell I've got an Intel core i5 4570 in mind , no Idea on the Broadwell though...
Shoulld I use DDR3 or DDR4 ??? it's a tough choice because then I have to change the motherboard...

The PSU & GPU are for later upgrade... but I guess I'll do a crossfire or SLI later...

So should I go 4th gen or 5th gen ? DDR3 or DDR4 ? which Motherboard ? Which Processor ? Suggest me...

The DDR4 systems you can buy now are crazy expensive and way overkill for what you will need judging by the i5 you chose for the socket 1150 build.

I would say if you can wait, wait or buy the i5 now and call it a day.

9 series motherboard is for the haswell refreshes, you'll need a completney new motherboard for 5th gens, you can't use ddr4 right now unless you go for x99 platform

broadwell isn't available on desktop as far as I know.

 

don't bother with crossfire or SLI, you don't even have money to get a proper high end GPU right now. 

Fractal Design Define R4 | MSI x79a-GD45 | 3960X @ 4.6Ghz | Lots of EK Blocks | EVGA GTX780Ti 3GB | Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (4x4) DDR3 1866 | Samsung 840 Pro 512GB SSD | Western Digital Red 2TB x4 (Raid 10) | Corsair AX760 | Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Don't go DDR4 if you havea low budget... DDR4 is for X99 only right now.

What about the motherboard ?
