Dolphin really only uses 2 cores with 3 being the maximum under certain conditions, I think the audio can be moved to another core. For strictly Dolphin and with a GPU streaming solution it would be better to get a 4790K and just give it a really healthy overclock. I assume you plan on using this rig for general purpose gaming as well though, because some of the other components are strictly overkill.
Yeah, 4K gaming at that. Would you say a 5930k is a safe bet then? I was thinking about 4790k for a while myself but I just don't want to risk it - even with my 4.5GHz 2500k I have issues streaming at 2500kbps and playing Dolphin, especially with heavier games like Xenoblade. I'd also be streaming with OBS to Twitch at faster or even fast preset if possible (higher quality, more CPU intensive) with the 2500k I have to set it at superfast or even ultrafast (the two lowest quality settings)
