i have a old 2nd gen processor although even GTA 4 and Saints row 4 Nfs MW2 don't lag on high settings but i'm pretty sure they will on ultra and also the system as a whole is getting slow and even the boot time 30 - 40 seconds with windows 8.......

Just upgrade the graphic card and you'll be fine.
then should i wait for next gen AMD or go with current gen?

There is no harm in waiting for next gen GPU's as they are around the corner. As you current HD 6790 can handle almost any game at 1600 resolution... well at least in mid settings.
two of my friends had a really bad experience with nvidia...........
+ i personally like AMD

it depends a lot of parameters like gpu model, power supply , other components etc. It can not be taken as a reason for not taking nvidia. get best for your budget, . be it nvidia or amd
is there any AM3+ mobo that has pcie 3.0 standard, and multi GPU support? i've always wanted to try out crossXfire........
i found many that have pcie 2.0 dual x16 but none with pcie 3
also when did the current gen of AMD cpu's came out and which one is it?
when is the next one gonna come out

The extra bandwidth provided by PCIe 3.0 makes absolutely no difference in gaming performance. At best, it provides 5-10 fps more at 4k and above resolutions. There is absolutely no necessity of a PCIe 3.0 motherboard.
