If you are going pure gaming, i5 4690k is already enough.
i7 4790k is better but already quite a lot more expensive and a bit overkill for what you really need for pure gaming rig.
i7 5960X is definitely a huge overkill and the DDR4 price is a little bit cwazy at the moment.

actually i am currently using amd fx 9590 and gtx titan x for my asus rog swift pg278q 144hz 1440p monitor but games like crysis 3, dying light, batrtlefield 4, grand theft auto 4 lags...fps drops from 60 to 20 and it is bottlenecking my gpu so will i get 4790k or 5960x for best gaming experience for 3-4 years

For now, even for video editing I do not think it is worth the price going i7 5960x.
If you really really want DDR4, i7 5820k is max.
Personally, I would not go beyond i7 4790k due to price issues.
If you do massive video works, you might like the extra cores and DDR4 bandwidth but you need quite massive investment.

For you, the i7 4790K would be the best. The 5960X is an extreme edition chip, which means that it uses a non standard chipset (Intel's X series) which won't support Broadwell CPUs. Intel uses a tick-tock system, where two series of processors support the same socket. Haswell, the current family, is the tick, and Broadwell will be the tock. The 5960X is Haswell-E, standing for extreme, and this is separate from the normal tick-tock mechanism.

It depends on the game and your settings.
for most games:
i7 5960x + Titan X deliver almost the same fps like on i5+ Titan X.
If you really crank things up like to 4k and ultra on some really heavy games.
4790k and i7 5960X should be about equal.
The words "equal" and "same fps", you might see improvement on i7 5960x but it will not be more than 5 fps.
I think the Titan X will give up earlier before the proc on heavy games.
i7 4790k is already an overkill for pure gaming rig.
i7 5960k is an overkill and waste of money.
