I'm building a new pc for gaming, light video editing and light cad. I'm curious as to if its worth waiting for the desktop release of the broadwell chips or just to get the current haswell cpu. I would he greatly appreciate any help. Thanks

Most Desktop versions of broadwell are smaller, lower clock speed than Haswell, Same or slightly lower power consumption.

It will be awhile before they release there higher clocked Broadwell chips

Broadwell will run on the same LGA 1150 Z97 MB's Haswell is using today with a BIOS update. Skylake will make the jump to a new PCH and socket to support DDR4. The only difference between the Z87 and Z97 is the Z87 will not support Broadwell even with the 1150 socket.
From what I read the 5th Gen will be about power and core size, also much better iGPU.

No problem have fun. And when overclocking just bump the memory multiplier. On Intel any K or X after the model number means memory multiplier is unlocked. So the default clock of 3.5 GHz is achieved by having the memory multiplier of 35 and base clock of 100 MHz so 35 x 100 MHz= 3.5Ghz So just bump the memory multiplier.
