Building a PC!

[swifty98]

Ok so hello everyone i'm new around here and i just want to know if my choosen specs are capable of running Dolphin,i'm not planning to run EVERY game,especially the kinds of Mario and stuff,i'm more focused on WWE Day of Reckoning 2 and older WWE games (NOT 2011/12 OR 13!)

Since this is my first time building a PC i didn't know what rig should i choose so i'm down with these

Motherboard:ASRock FM2A75 Pro4

or

ASRock H61DEL


Graphic Card:Leadtek GT610 2GB or Leadtek GTX 650 2GB/DDR5


Processeur:i5-3570K Box (3,40G) 1155 or AMD FM2 A10-5700 Box (4000Mhz/4.0Ghz)


RAM:Samsung 16GB DDR3 1600 (i know RAM is no big of a deal)


HDD:HDD 1000GO Toshiba SATA3


My current budget is very limited as half of the price is not even mine,hoping the seller could spare me some time until i pay him the whole thing.


Hope you guys could help me what to choose too,THANKS!

i5 3570k is great for Dolphin.

Either get rid of the font tags (including size) or make the whole post one font. That looks terrible and it's difficult to read.

Don't buy a leadtek graphics card. Get one from a reputable manufacturer like EVGA.

FIXED! (best i can do )

All of those WWE games you listed are demanding, both the ones you do and do not want to play. You'll most likely have to let the i5-3570K Turbo Boost on 2 cores or overclock it yourself to get fullspeed. I doubt the AMD FM2 A10-5700 will give fullspeed, so it's obvious which to choose here.

[swifty98]

What about the others? i know now i should get the AMD but are both graphic cards good?

Everyone says leadtek is the best so i'm gonna stick with leadtek,thats all they have for now anyways.

@op i would wait a few weeks (2-3) is the release of haswell. which will provide a slight boost over ivy bridge.

A GTX 650 is massively faster than a 610. Don't even bother with the 610.

Those parts won't fit. FM2 is an AMD board and i don't that H61 supports Ivy Bridge.

For motherboard you have to Choose intel Socket 1155, like H77 or Z77 boards. You want a Z77 if you are going to over clock.
If you are on a limited budget I guess a GTX650 will do the trick. The GTX650TI BOOST has a better bus tho, and will do 4X IR, not sure about a plain GTX650 if that will do 4x IR.

i5-3570K is the best CPU for dolphin (unless you wanna pay more for an i7, with little to no benefits in dolphin)

[NaturalViolence]

Every LGA1155 motherboard supports ivy bridge as long as the bios is up to date.

Obviously the FM2 board was for if he decided to go with an A10-5700 and the H61 board was for if he decided to go with the i5 3570K.
