DDR4 updrade from DDR3

Are we starting to see ddr3 limitations in new games coming out ? what type of speed for ddr4 would work well for 1151 socket ?

depend on the mobo.
DDR4 vs DDR3 don't make much different.

No we are not seeing DDR3 becoming a speed limitation. In fact the fastest DDR3 is as fast as most fast DDR4.

No. 4 vs 3 is basically like a generation number. Heres some benchmarks:

Even though the clock rate is higher the latency is much worse, meaning performance wise they are nearly the same.

Would you be able to suggest some better ram for my 4790k build i currently have 16gb 2133 gskill trident ?

Thats pretty fast ram, I know they make up to 3200 mhz ddr3, I don't think its worth it, you will barely notice any difference in real life.
