Time to upgrade Mobo + CPU?

Hi all, my current config is:

Rampage IV Extreme
Intel Core i7-3930K (liquid cooled, OC'd to 4.4ghz)
XMP 2133 16gb RAM
R9 295x (just purchased this yesterday).

Since its the holidays, and I usually treat myself this time of year, would the Rampage V and a new 4th gen i7 be a substantial upgrade? Or can I afford to ride out my rig a little while longer. Thanks for the input!

I guess I should of mentioned that. I game. I dont have a 4k monitor, and dont care to get one until I get a high refresh rate from them. I currently use the Asus 144hz monitor. I get bothered by not being able to run my games at ultra settings.

In that case, it will not be a substantial upgrade. But hey, the Rampage V Extreme is a kickass motherboard. How can one say no to it? 😉

Thanks for the input! I think I'll put that extra money towards my theater room this year;)
