The i7 essentially has four "extra" cores that will be able to take over OBS while the others run whatever game is played. This is not as much of a problem with Dolphin as it only runs on two cores, but if you want to use OBS while playing demanding pc games, an i7 (or an i7-based Xeon, like the 1231v3) is the way to go. If you live near a Microcenter store, they seem to have quite a deal on the 4790K. http://www.microcenter.com/product/434176/Core_i7-4790K_40GHz_LGA_1150_Boxed_Processor
And as an added tip, do not buy the Titan X. It is a complete waste of money as the GTX 980 Ti performs near identically and costs two thirds of what a Titan X goes for.
Okay, so you mean, "Don't get what you plan on getting because it might be the wisest choice." Is there a CPU with the "threading" thing, Intel Quick Sync Video, Virtualzation Technology and with Intel 64 that I can get? What prefered CPUs does the program reccomend, and does that CPU have those features? Are you telling me that I need to start from scratch by getting something that might help for the program, because if that's a yes, okay then. The Z170A Titanium motherboard by MSI only supports LGA 1151 CPUs, and the best ones for Dolphin are 1150.
Last question: What GPU works 100% better, and would I need the "threading" thing for OBS to record while I use the emulator without any issues?
