Why not just wait for Broadwell to be released along with what will almost certainly be a fresh round of motherboards?

I tought that they'll fit for the current z97 boards as they are same 1150? But if so it makes this "new motherboard" search thing umm.. Useless.
-----Edit---
But! If so then i thank you hand i'll wait wait some then :)

Any idea when they might be coming, updates?

I would wait. Sometimes they bring out new boards with some updates, and you might be sorry. Besides, why let it sit and let warranty expire until you get the chip, unless you plan to run it in something else till then.

Yeah as Kong says if you can wait for the chip then wait for the motherboard as they normally update them slightly with each chip release
