Not really. If you're talking about MSAA, the OP will be able to max it out in many games. Geometry-only AA like MSAA is less taxing on GPU resources than something like SSAA. Even if you're talking about SSAA, that GPU will be able to do 9xSSAA technically, just not at higher Internal Resolutions. The GTX 650 will happily do 8x-16x MSAA at 4x Internal Resolution, and 4xSSAA at 3x Internal Resolution for most games.

A properly overclocked i5-4670K should get at worst 27~28 FPS (assuming an NTSC-U or NTSC-J disc, meaning a max FPS of 30) and only periodically, which is barely noticeable. The thing about The Last Story is that the FPS drops on a real Wii. Dolphin will accurately emulate those drops as well. The emulated gamespeed could very well read 100%, but since Dolphin aims for accuracy, and since a real Wii slows down when it's running at 100%, the action still slows down. This usually happens during battles though, when lots of things are happening.

I didn't even know that some i5s can't be overclocked so feel free to lay some info on me even if it should be common knowledge. Other forums i visit just don't seem to have a helpful attitude so I'm grateful for what I've gotten help with.
My first post here was basically the same as yours ("does this rig have what it takes" or something like that). I even went CyberPower too :p Anyway, one thing I can say about CyberPower systems is that they're very well built machines. I've been using mine for Dolphin for almost 2 years now. Although it's not necessary, you might want to see if you can buy it directly from CyberPower. You can customize just about everything on their site, and you can trim or add some items if you wish (for instance, I didn't need a 1TB HDD, I don't even have that much data to begin with, nor did I need Windows). If you have a version of Windows you can install, that's like $80 off the cost of the system itself if you order it with no OS, though be warned, $80 is approximately the cost of shipping
