I'm still waiting to see some performance review of the 14900k other than the speculation at the moment. I have a 12900k a 4090, and 690 board. Not sure should hop on getting the CPU or just wait till new board, new CPU, an new gpus are all out maybe next year or the following.
That way do the whole thing in one go, but super curious about the performance jump.
If you main use is gaming and you play at 4K (or even 1440p likely), I'd wait if you're willing to wait. I went from 12900k to 13900k and saw some improvements at 1440p, but nothing huge in games. I think what was most notable is that my CPU runs cooler to do the same work and the fact that I can OC the 13900k to 6GHz on up to 4 core-loads means that some things actually saw a benefit.
I think 14900k from what I've read online seems like it'll be a very small improvement over 13900k...so if you want to go exotic cooling and OC it, you might see some improvement in games. If you want to run it stock, I'd say just stick with what you have, but it does look like whatever intel offers next is still a fairly unknown quantity. I have no idea exactly what or when that will launch or how the performance will be.
One thing I'd advise anybody running EVGA boards on is that even if they do release a new BIOS for 14th gen, I would advise patience on launch week(s). It took them several attempts to get a stable BIOS out that ran 13th gen, which took a little while.
There were some issues...
a few.
