Hey guys. First, a request: I am pretty noob regarding all the benchmarking and overclocking stuff. So please go easy on my questions.
So, I'm going for a completely new build very soon. I'll attach it to my 42 inch hdtv and will most likely use it for dolphin, as well as PC gaming.
Here are a few of my questions and details regarding my situation:
CPU:
For the CPU, I can get either i5-4690 or 4670, I can also get the K versions of them for overclocking but the sad truth is that I don't know anything about overclocking. I understand that without oc, I might be able to run very few games but I can't do anything about it. So what would you suggest would be better off the two for emulation?
GAMES I'D LIKE TO RUN:
Games like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Pokemon Battle Revolution and the likes (I own these). I understand games like mario galaxy and galaxy 2 and metroid series uses intensive graphics so without oc I might not be able to run them but will I able to run the games mentioned before in at least 720p at decent framerate in a cpu that's not oc'd? Also, Would there be any low budget CPU that could match 4690/70 in terms of emulating dolphin for my game requirements? If there is one, then I could spend more money in GPU.
GPU:
For the GPU, since they are pretty expensive where I live, compared to US, I would really appreciate it if you guys could suggest a low budget gpu for my situation as I'll be spending in CPU much more I guess. I am also going to run games like GTA V or watch dogs so if I could get something that could run them in high settings, even if it is in 720p, then it'd be great! Although 1080p would fantastic! And I know I'm being stupid with this request but one can hope right? RIGHT? If high PC gaming is not possible, please suggest what would be suitable for dolphin in low budget.
COOLER:
Do I need a cooling fan for my situation? Or if I get a k version of CPU?
Other than that, I'll be getting 8GB RAM, 2TB HDD, MOBO compatible with GPU, PSU as required by GPU, and cooling fan if needed.
Please help and if I've done any mistake in posting or posted in wrong section, please let me know. Thank you. If you want any more details, I'm willing to post them if possible.
