i7 4790k or wait for the i7 5770k or wait for the i7 5930k?

Hi, I'm wondering if I should just go for Z97 and i7 4790k or wait for 5770k or if I should wait for the i7 5930k with X99 chipset? I'm planning on using it for video editing, developing games (such as scripting and modeling), maybe VFX and making programs. Also for gaming. Money is not an issue but would it be better if I get i7 5930k/5820k over the i7 4790k? Is it worth it. Also, I would be running in the future 32 GB of ram or maybe more.

The 5960X would be the best, but impractical for the price. The 5820K would be great for that, but if money is not an issue, then the 5930 is the way to go. The 4790k isn't good right now for editing considering Haswell-E is set to come out in two weeks. The 32GB of RAM is good, get DDR4-2133 or DDR4-2400, maybe DDR4-2666 if you want best results. All marginal, of course. Make sure to get 4 sticks of it, though, for quad channel operation. For a GPU, I would get a FirePro W9100 or the Quadro K6000.
