I have DDR3 RAM but was wondering when DDR4 RAM would be out and available. Is DDR3 going to be outdated by that time?

It's been released.. So my question is for my new build is it really necessary to go with it AND a more expensive CPU/motherboard which show barely any performance increases or should I just stick with my i5 4590 and my 1886 DDR3 Ram. I'm only worried it's going to be outdated really soon

The DDR3 X 4 debate for me is really s debate centered on The CPU. Do you intend to upgrade to Skylake or Haswell-e? Personally I don't see any advantage for everyday-use/gaming on letting go of your i5 4590 for the time being. It has a respectable clock and a lot of power, enough for most stuff you probably use it for.
Whenever you upgrade your CPU ( and that could be as early as 2016 or as late as 2018, really) you will be moving to DDR4. Until then this is a non-issue for you.
(Not to mention the real,advantages ddr4 brings to the table are more noticeable at higher frequencies which are much more expensive)
