Building a PC specifically for Dolphin

Quote:why a quad core?

Like Starcream said , Dolphin uses 3 cores with "DSP LLE on thread"
i5 3570k @ 4.2 is fast enough for most games (include the most demanding game - The Last Story)
Dolphin : i5 3570k = i7 3770k . i7 has Hyper Threading which is useless for Dolphin but it's a better CPU for multithreaded apps and video encoding
Having an extra core for background processing can speed up Dolphin
