Hi all people of Tom`shardware!

My question is simple (and thanks for your answers). Right now i have a Core i3 530 (2.93 ghz) and i use my rig mostly for gaming (and work).
I can run nearly all games in 720/1080p in high/medium at 30-40 fps (my GPU is a GTX 660).
I think the games of the rest of 2014 and 2015 are going to be a lot more demanding (seeing the requirements of some games). So the question is: I upgrade my CPU now (to an i5 4670/4690) or i should wait until the release of Broadwell next year?

PD: Sorry for my English, is not my 1st languange :D

Thank you for your answers! As long i can play AAA titles with high settings with a good framerate is enough for me. In my country PC parts cost about 100% more that in USA/UK/Europe. Can i hope this upgrade will last like 4 years?

The xeon 1230v3 cost a lot more (100 dollars more) that the i5 4670/4690. I plan to get an z87 (if i can get the K series) or h81 (h87 here cost the same than the z87). z97 right now are way too expensive (3 times the price of newegg).
