I have been reading some information about the next generation of Intel CPUs, and most of it say that it will use the socket 1150. So my question is, if my motherboard supports the 4th gen (1150 LGA), will it support the 5th gen?

The current info is that Broadwell will be a process shrink of Haswell, with little to zero architectural changes taking place except the transition to 15 nanometre. The cpu's are expectected to work in socket 1150 with a bios update, just like Ivy bridge cpu's did with sandy bridge motherboards.
DDR 4 is still so much faster than needed by current processors as to be almost irrelevant,but you can be sure hybrid boards will pop up with either or even both slots on,when it approaches mainstream(this is unlikely soon for obvious £$£$ reasons). usb 4 hasnt even been mentioned yet, and the chipset on a motherboard isnt 'all those little parts' on the motherboard, its the whacking great big lumps of silicon with heat sinks on, and the ram...

That usually isn't the question, the problem is there will be differences created by the 'chipset' (all those little parts you see on the Motherboard) that will be different as the technology changes / evolves. For example, USB standards may change I heard soon, we do know for example DDR4 for the CPU and other components is just around the corner, this would be 'incompatible' with your current LGA 1150, while a new mobo would have the right port / chipset to address it and so on.

There is no (1) time solution, if your looking at a more then 5 year system, then get a console.

If you are wanting a five year solution, a non K haswel rig (4440?) will cover your needs well, or you could buy an abacus;
as I am sure others of a less stable nature may suggest.
