---------------------------------------
i'm planning on upgrading my CPU and Motherboard because i believe AMD CPUs is not what i need because its still inferior to its intel counterparts( i was on a budget okay? i had to buy that useless junk, don't judge me !!
Now i've got my 6850HD installed on my old system (the cpu causing major bottleneck)....
Would i get a bottleneck by GPU in PC games and dolphin if i upgrade to sandybridge platform (i5 2500K)...@720p+4xSSAA ? and how's the performance of that i5 in most intensive games in dolphin (SMG/SMG2) ?
PS: im not very keen on overclocking
Thank You Guys in advance
I have I52500K and i can run all games at full speed 1280x1024 with no slowdowns or crashes, evrything works perfect. So yes a 2500k is perfect for dolphin and aslo for PC games BUY IT! It is very cheap too. One of the most powerful cpu right now at a very good price! BUY IT! I had an Athlon X2 4400+ before , the perfomance increase was HUGE!

@ExtremeDude2 :Riiiight ! recommend me a good cooler then, please ( and by good i mean price/performance )
dont overclock it! it is very dangerous . it is not worth to risk it. not at all. I am a programmer i know evrything about pc. A core i5 2500k runs at 3,3 ghz and it can run all PC games at max settings in DX9/DX10DX11 at 1920x1080 or higher(with a good graphic card). What i mean is that this is cpu is enough for all PC games and all WII games(Dolphin). you dont need anything faseer than it for now. It will take a long time before games became more demanding. Even Witcher 2 i can run on max settings and it is one of the most demanding games this year(even more demanding than Dolphin!)
For the next 3 years again this cpu will be enough to max all pc games.
