My next upgrade will be Broadwell/Maxwell whenever they are both out. History seems to suggest nVidia latches onto Intel CPU releases to max their sales, so I'd guess they'll be introduced together. Based on the approx ~12-15 month cycles we are seeing, we should be able to pick up this combo anywhere from May - September of 2014. Haswell and Geforce 780 both look great but I think upgrading every generation is sort of pointless. Every other one is the sweet spot for me. Anyone else in the same boat?
 
At this point every 3rd or 4th generation isn't so bad either.

I mean it all depends on how many Benjamins are in the bank of course and what one's individual needs are, but e.g. I still have an i7-870 and a GTX 570 and really don't have much of an itch to upgrade yet.
 
I do the every other generation thing myself. My rig would honestly be good for another 3 years, but I'm itching to get a solid powerful graphics card again, with ddr4 and PCI 3.0. I generally don't upgrade until a graphics card can max out all the latest games on its own at an acceptable resolution.
