x99 Motherboard & i7-6800K Advice

Looking at upgrading when the new i7-6800K comes out.

Since they are using the same X99 motherboards, do people think its worth waiting to purchase one of the newly released motherboards when the Broadwell-E processors are released or try to pick up one of the current X99 boards available now, on a nice deal if I can find one.

I'll be using my pc for streaming, video / picture editing, gaming and such, looking around the £200/250 price range on the motherboard and then I'll need to find some DDR4 too, rest of the items I can use from my current build.

Thanks
 
The new X99 boards will bring things like full M.2 support among other things, it just brings them up to the same level as the current Z170 boards.

I was under the impression that a lot of the current X99 boards already does that, Asus for one. How much faster can we go than 4 x PCI-e 3.0 on M.2?
