I'm gonna have to forget about getting a new PC. I'm on a $700 budget, and there is no way I can get a Dolphin-ready PC for that price or less.

Sure? We think you can.
OS: Windows 10 64 bit Professional
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900X RAM: 48GB GPU: Radeon 7800 XT 08-27-2012, 08:15 AM

Windows 7 costs less than it does to pay someone tyo build your PC for you. Sometimes threads dissolve into 'Windows should be free, and $x is way more than I want to pay', so look at a price before deciding something can be afforded or not.

If you live near a Microcenter, do this:
i5 3570K - $189 ASRock Z77 Pro3 (if you don't plan on using this for crossfire/sli!) - $45 if you want crossfire/sli, go with ASRock Z77 Extreme4 - $95 8 GB RAM - around $50-60 nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti (EVGA overclocked) - around $135 whatever DVD drive, HDD/SDD, and case you want 500 watt PSU My case was a Raidmax and came with a very good RAIDMAX PSU for $79 at Fry's EDIT: Windows 7 OEM 64 bit is $100 The total for that would be less than $700, even with the DVD/HDD/case/PSU. Of course, you'd have to assemble it yourself, but its not that hard; just read the manuals.

Windows 7 costs $99 from newegg, although you could always use the OS licence from your 'what I was working with' laptop.
Damn edits while I'm typing.

If you buy the 3570K at micro center you get $50 off the mobo. That's why I said at the top that if you live next to a Microcenter.
