Oh phew, you definitely dodged a bullet there.
BTW, you can massively shorten the URL to either of the following:

Nevertheless, my point still stands that a Ryzen APU is typically a wiser route to go, but yes your configuration will indeed actually be faster for very lightly-threaded programs like Dolphin that gain minimal benefit from more than two CPU cores (unless you have a bunch of background programs and services running, but at that point maybe some sort of "baby's first Linux" would be wiser anyway...).
