There are $99 Wii deals for Black Friday.

Ok, seriously now, here's my advice. Stick to the core components you need, toss out the rest. No SSD, decent but not extravagant case, cheap HDD (the WD10EZEX you listed is a good choice), mid-range GPU, 4-8GB of ram, etc. Then, put the money you save into quality parts to make Dolphin well, like the CPU, fan (overclocking), and motherboard. You can easily get a better GPU or an SSD later, so you should focus on the core of the system, and go from there.

Careful with 212s. The Evo is the good one: a decent cooler at a surprisingly low price. All other 212s are crap.
