Actually I was trying to build a budget PC .

Here are the list of components
Moherboard: Asus H97M-E (Support 5th Gen Intel Core)/H81 (4th Gen)
Memory: 8GB (4x2 Ripjaw)
Harddisk: 7200rpm 500gb and 120GB SSD
PSU: 500W Aerocool VP PRo 80+
GPU: Nvidia GTX650/AMD HD7790

And here is my problem, according to Intel and some sources, the Intel Core 5th Generation will be released on Spring 2015. and after that around 2half of 2015 the 6th Generation Intel Core will also be released. Now I've been thinking I should buy Asus H97 for 5th gen support, but now that 6th gen will also become available. What do you think is the best choice right now?

Buy the Asus H97 then upgrade later
Buy H81 chipset then wait for the 6th gen
Or should i wait for the release of the 5th and 6th gen intel ?
 
Solution
There will be very little performance gains over the current Devil's Canyon architecture in the new CPUs. 5th Gen Intel CPUs are aimed at increasing power efficiency due to the die-shrink, there will be negligible performance gains. It's almost exclusively going to benefit laptops/NUCs as it will allow for better battery life, and less heat.
The 6th Gen desktop CPUs won't be out for at least a year yet, and even then the performance boost is going to be around 10% max. Just look at how many people still use older generations now.

Your best course of action would be to spend on a good, powerful, current Devil's Canyon CPU. One of those will last you a good few years.
