I have $100 usd saved up. Going to get paid about $450 usd at the end of the month from my summer job.

Skylake is coming out in August. I currently have a fx 8350 bottlenecking my gtx 970. I play minecraft on a normal basis and I sometimes drop below 30 fps. Should I upgrade to a 4790k or wait for a skylake processor? I can wait if it's atleast 5-10% better than the 4790k.

wait for skylake see how it performs and depending on how much the price drops on the current gen cpu's get the i5 4690k if the price drops a good bit also you don't really need an i7 if your just gaming an i5 will be enough

Spoiler

My system is the Dell Inspiron 15 5559 Microsoft Signature Edition

Wait yes, but i think it was actually pushed to fall, saw it on the news or something.

I have an i7 720Q with a GT 230M and I never fall below 100 FPS...

What the hell is wrong with your system O.o

Well mods + many people on server (hypixel megawalls)
