Here is a cheaper but still very kick-ass build instead. Dropped the super fancy case and power supply to reasonable ones, scaled the GPU down to a 960, brought the RAM down, added a HDD, removed the unnecessary sound card because integrated ones are fine, and gave you a PCI wireless adapter so you don't need to run an Ethernet cable across the house or use a junky USB adapter.

This is coming from a guy with an air 540, haf 912, and fractal r4 that are currently lined up. Also the integrated sound is the same as I have and it drives my 558's nice and fine with decent clarity and no discernable static. The 970 is a nice card, but it will have issues if you force it to use all the vram, so unless you are into modding skyrim or 4k gaming you should be fine. The case I used is very nice, especially if you are into tearing things apart or modding. Also psu was way overkill, I replaced it with a near equivalent unit for less, that will still do sli. Cooler keeps my 4790k under 60 Celsius at full load at 4.5 and is quiet while doing so.

Is this overkill for dolphin, yes. Is this going to play almost every game max and/or decent settings @ 1080p and 1440p, yes.
Out of curiosity, these two builds look the same and have the same URL. combine, did you intend to link a different build (“I tried cheapening up your build . . .”; “The case I used . . .”; “I replaced the PSU . . .”)?
