My Wii has finally gone the way of the dodo, or at least, the disc drive has.
So, I'm looking at building an HTPC for Netflix, Youtube, DVD watching, but primarily for playing Wii games with Dolphin.
I was wondering, because I know nothing about Dolphin, other than you can use it to play Wii games in HD, if what I'm planning on getting would be powerful enough to play all my games in HD?
Here's what I'm planning on:
CPU: i3-2120 2C/4T 3.3 GHz
Mobo: MSI H61M-P31/W8 Micro ATX LGA1155
RAM: Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB
GPU: EVGA GTX 750 Ti
And that's all the meaningful specs.
So, could I do it fairly easily? I'm not looking for top of the line performance, all I want is to play MP 1&2&3, Skyward Sword, and SSBB in HD without terribad frame rates (don't worry, I did buy the games, no pirating here lol).
Could I drop down to 4GB to save some money? Like I said, this won't be used for much else besides Netflix and the interbutts.
