Yes, sorry if I was not clear. With my current laptop, I am not able to get playable framerates for Zelda: Wind Waker in Dolphin. After being frustrated I realized I don't have the ability to play Dolphin with my laptop. Many other older PC games work great on it, but newer ones (even ones like The Secret World) have difficulty running (they can be played but the CPU temperature spikes).
Therefore I meant a Haswell with integrated graphics might be good for Dolphin, but I couldn't play, say, Skyrim without discrete graphics.
Would an A10-6800K have better performance than, say, a Pentium G2120 paired with a Radeon HD 7750, for example? (Probably, yes, in Dolphin, but I don't know about other PC Games) Sorry for all the annoying and amateurish questions, like I said this would be my first computer, I guess I still have way, way more to learn.
Alright, so this combo is clearly a bad deal. Guess I was drawn in by the price tag.
EDIT: You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize that I'm compromising to save myself $300. Which, admittedly, is a lot, but if going for a $500 PC would give me a sub-par experience, it probably makes the most sense just to forgo playing games in Dolphin for the near future and not get a new desktop.
I actually have a Wii already. It was the "Okami in HD" thing that was so appealing to me.
