3570K. If it's the "K" version it isn't a bad choice.
Zelda TP will slow down only in Hyrule Field and in a few other parts of the game.
And most games will work just fine. What other games have you been planning to play?
Right, it was a 3570K for $190 at micro center. But for the $80 for a new mobo and a known excellent CPU for dolphin, that's a hard deal to pass up, albeit more work on my end than just swapping the CPU...
I plan on playing TP and Skyward Sword, some of the Kirby's, Mario Galaxy's, Metroids and a few others.
From what I've read, the stock G3258 seems to outperform the OC'd 3570K with Dolphin. And other tests show the G3258 as being the top CPU for dolphin.
Now this isn't a dedicated Dolphin rig, but I do plan on hooking up the 50" to the HDMI out on my GPU so I can play like normal. So I'll need the CPU to still perform well with daily tasks like movies, web browsing, Office, etc. It seems that the G3258 will be just as good if not better than my 2400 in there, especially if it's overclocked.
Thoughts??
