The others don't sound too bad, but I think Donkey Kong may be CPU heavy? Zelda Wind Waker is pretty lightweight, but Twilight Princess is really CPU intensive.
Well, if you don't need this computer immediately, there is an upcoming i3-7350K that is rumored to be an overclock-able i3. I would recommend sticking that on a good overclockable board (for future proofing and ability to have a lot of system features), get a water cooler, never hear it again. It will run at a really high clock speed and use comparatively little energy when idling. And pair that with a quiet GTX 1050/1050 Ti and it should be a quiet, powerful system for years to come.
Sorry, but hardware-wise, you don't seem too knowledgeable.
First off: it is not "rumored" to be an overclockable i3. The K always stands for a CPU with a free multiplactor (which is more simple to overclock, but really any CPU can be overclocked if you have the right mainboard).
Next: Overclocking it makes it consume more power thus producing more heat thus needing a greater fan speed resulting in more noise. Even a watercooled system needs a fan, mind you.
And why would I even overclock a CPU that's not even come out yet. There is plenty of CPUs on the market that can pull it off already, even without overclocking.
The 6570 is sufficient for 1080p Super Mario Galaxy 2, I know that because I tried it. EDIT: Fixed a typo that spelled 1090
Also, even if it wasn't there is no reason at all to buy a 1050 - because AMD has better GPUs in that price range, and I already said that the system is NOT going to do anything else than playing movies and running dolphin. And even if the 1050 had the better bang/buck ratio, it will not last "for years to come". Even the bigger 1060 will be obsolete in 2 years at the VERY most.
