This is for a dedicated emulation box so it will only be running emulators. Specs are as follows:

CPU - i3570K or i2700K (Have both)
MoBo - ASRock Z77E-ITX board
RAM - 2x4GB DDR3-1600

I need a GPU to finish off this build. I mainly want to just play a few Gamecube games such as Smash Brothers, Mario's, Zeldas, etc.

It's all going in a Bitfenix Prodigy Mini-ITX case.

$125ish but woukd find extea money if I really need more than that. I was under the impression that Dolphin was more CPU intensive than GPU.

GT 650 might suit your needs since you need to keep it small. And it also falls without your price range.

Are there specific GPU requirements to run all GC games at high resolution?

Damn. I was hoping my GTX 670 FTW was just overkill but I guess I'm just spoiled since it can do full resolution and 16xAA.
