You would need to hit 5.6GHz on sandy bridge to match haswell at 4.3GHz in dolphin (an easy OC to achieve with any 4670K). Which is just not practical without LN2. Used sandy/ivy bridge parts could be a viable low budget option for a dolphin build. But like admin pointed out, this guy isn't on a low budget. He might as well get hardware that's up to date and delivers maximum performance.
I would agree with you limith if this were any other type of application. But for emulators haswell really is worth it. Unfortunately most of those overclocking communities are focused around PC gaming. Which is understandable. As a result their advice doesn't tend to factor in dolphin or pcsx2 performance.
