Hello ladies and gentlemen, Santa Clause here.
My plan is to surprise my stepsister and her husband with a way to play SSB Melee for Christmas, I’m thinking here my budget will be $500. I’ll be building this on my own btw.
My goal is to build a console-sized pc for most likely GameCube (SSB & Mario Sunshine) and lower gens (SNES, NES) only, it will only be running on a TV (1920x1080) at 60Hz so no need to meet any 4K or frame requirements, but of course the more frames available the better.
From what I’ve read so far, and correct me if I get any of this wrong but from what I’ve gathered is that Dolphin is more CPU intensive and generally a 4 core with high speeds will be good.
As far as GPU, GT750 or better works?
Storage I’m aiming for 250GB SSD, is that enough for just a few games?
The PSU will be Seasonic Silver/Gold/Platinum and whatever the power usage needs to be (500W maybe??)
And RAM seems to be negligible with 4-8GB being enough
So it’s really came down to motherboard choice and a small enough case that I’m completely clueless on, so if you guys can give my list a look, let me know if I’m wrong anywhere in here I’d really appreciate it
