Here is a messy incomplete google sheets. Bigger means I'm leaning more toward it.

This is mainly a gaming rig, so I am wanting a quad core cpu. The current laggiest games I want to run full speed are four swords (2p, meaning LLE and 2 gba links) and Metroid Prime Trilogy.

i3 6100 is a dual core with Hyperthreading (2 cores 4 threads) . If you want a true quad core , you should get i5 6400 (not overclockablde) or i5 6600k (overclockable) .
For Dolphin , i3 6100 is more than enough though
R9 480 is $200 and AMD claim it could beat high-end GTX 970 . The release date is 29th June, 2016 if you can wait

Thanks for the reply. I assume you mean RX 480. I think I will go with that and get the i5 6600k.
