Just asking, can a i3 2100 run intensive wii games at 1080p playable speed? and by intensive I mean like 4-player mario kart.

No, and your GPU can't do 1080p either. Maybe low res and 1 player though.

Yeah I kind of know my gpu cant do it, but im asking if i3 2100 and radeon hd 6870 will do the job

HD 6870 will do the job yes. My i5 appreciates it Wink

But is an i3 cpu limited?

If you can : choose an i5

Yeah, but doesn't dolphin use only 2 threads? So the performance difference would be negligible?

That's right. 3 for the sound (useful for LLE)

But my games dont require lle audio, they're not glitched! So you're saying that an i3 and a 6870 will run 1080p at 60 fps?

What about Ivy bridge, should I get that?

I don't know for the i3. I would say yes but not sure. But the card is a good choice. Which games do you plan to play?
