Hi!
One of my friends wants to build a new PC and needs some help with choosing the right parts. I already gave him some advice but I'm not too tech-savvy...
He would like to emulate GC/Wii games with Dolphin. Other then that, he plays "League of Legends" and wants to use his PC for everyday tasks.
His PC should be powerful enough to emulate most Mario games (like Mario Party, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart), preferably at full speed and in HD.
Here are some of the parts he has chosen:
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
CPU: AMD FX-6350 6 Core CPU 3,9 GHZ
RAM: Kingston KHX1866C9D3/4G (he wants to buy 2 or 3 of them, resulting in 8 or 12 GB of RAM... but I'm sure 8GB is enough, right?)
Graphics card: Asus R7260X-DC2OC-2GD5 (2GB / 128 Bit)
There is also a question on my side: does it make a difference whether the graphics card is 128 Bit or 256 Bit? How much VRAM (1GB/2GB/3GB/4GB) is recommended for playing most if not all games at 4xIR?

Sorry for any grammar mistakes. English is not my mother tongue.
