I know I'm changing my needs now but do you think the i3-4130 could run skyward sword decently at 3xIR? It's just that when you say "blows the i5-2400 out of the water" I except some improvement in other games as well as brawl. Currently SS runs at 10-20fps on an i5-2400.
If i was you , i would get an i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz + H81 mobo instead
4th gen is 20->30% faster than 3rd gen Core i series . 3rd gen is faster than 2nd gen . Since Dolphin is a dual core application , i3 4130 will blow i5 2400 out of the water
Also, unrelated to dolphin if you care to give your input; I guess it would limit "next gen" gaming being a dual core but at least it gives me options of upgrading to a broadwell processor in the future being an 1150 socket cpu. Or a 4670 at least.
