Hey all
I scrummaged through my garage yesterday and found an old i5 2400 w/ an old motherboard to use for Dolphin instead of an APU I was planning on using.
I have about $130 to spend on some extra parts to make this build happen, and this is what I have so far
(I could use PC Part picker, but most of these parts are custom so I decided against it):
Sentey SS1-2420 Plus Slim Case w/ 500W PSU ($50)
4GB of Ram ($29)
80GB SATA HDD ($7)
VisionTek 5670 512MB DDR5 ($33)
Total: $119 (about 125 w/ tax & shipping)

Questions:
- I have an old GT 440 2GB DDR3 GPU. Is it worth the money for the 5670?
- Is the 5670 enough for 1080p emulation? The highest I can go is a 5750/6750 considering I don't trust the PSU for higher end graphics cards. Should I spend $20 more a 5750/6750? I don't mind turning down settings to get good FPS
