Hi all.
I tried running Dolphin 5.0 on a 2011 Mac Mini in my home theater/gaming setup and it wasn't happy. So I'm planning a custom hackintosh build for the home theater to replace the aging mini and double as a replacement for my Wii console. It's going in a Fractal Designs Node 202 case, so the cooling system can't be too bulky and the maximum length graphics card is 310 mm.
For hackintosh compatibility, I have to pick components from this list: Hackintosh compatible parts list
The performance goal for Dolphin is to run Skyward Sword smoothly at 1080p. I'm leaning toward the Core i5-6600K at 3.5 GHz for the CPU if it can meet that goal.
The bigger question is the graphics card. The recommended hardware list I linked above doesn't list any ATI Radeon options, which I have the (maybe mistaken?) impression are superior for Dolphin to the NVIDIA cards.
Suggestions/advice greatly appreciated.
