Thanks for the advice! Aren't those rams and GPU a little bit overkill? I can buy an already built PC but it only has 8 GB ram and a GTX 670.
Haswell - Dolphin

Quote:a little bit overkill?Not at all , like I said GTX 770 cost the same money as GTX 670 and much faster . Why the hell would you pay the same money for a weaker GPU ? Not mention OEM PCs are overpriced trash . You will get rip-off if you buy PC instead of building one by yourself For Example : I can build a PC for 700-800$ but I will sell it to you for 1200$ (maybe 1000$ after debate *Insert my devil laugh here* ) . Would you like to buy one ? GSkill Ripjaw X series is cheap and fast .... From A to Z : I go all out 1182$ Since you didn't tell me your budget i5 4670k (200$) EVGA ACX Cooling GTX 770 (410$) Seasonic S12II 620W 80 PLus Bronze Japanese Capacitors (70$) Latest Intel SSD 335 80GB (105$) (Remove this if you don't want to buy SSD) Asrock Z87 Pro 4 Micro ATX (115$ Or Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 GSkill Ripjaw X Series 2x4GB(65$) WD Green 1.5TB 7200rpm (80$) Best bang for buck Rosewill BlackHawk case (90$) - Newegg Brand Best bang for buck - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo (37$) Arctic MX-4 (10$) Laptop: Mini PC ::
I got your point but I'm not a computer specialist and I can't imagine me building a PC.
Here's the rig I can get for 1169 Euro (since in the computer world 1 Euro = 1 Dollar, the conversion is not hard): Intel Core i5-4670K - Quad Core (3.4 GHz, Turbo 3.8 GHz) Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO MSI Z87-G45 Asus GTX670-DC2-2GD5 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 2 Go G.Skill XL Series RipJaws X Series 8 Go (kit 2x 4 Go) DDR3-SDRAM PC12800 CL9 Seagate 7200.14 - 2 To 7200 RPM 2 Mo Serial ATA III Corsair Carbide 300R Microsoft Windows 7 64 bits Thanks a lot for the suggestion though, I'll have a look at the parts you suggest on European websites. 06-07-2013, 06:32 PM

Awesome read!
Two last questions: - can I still go with the 4670k or does the 4770k have something special that makes Dolphin running even better? - is there a difference between Windows 7 and 8 as far as Dolphin is concerned? I buy this PC only for emulators (not interested in PC games) so I don't want to make a mistake. Quote:does the 4770k have something special that makes Dolphin running even better?i7 has Hyperthreading (4 cores 8 threads) , i5 does not have HT (4 cores 4 threads) . Dolphin doesn't care about HT ... i7 has higher L3 cache 8MB vs i5 L3 cache 6MB i7 has higher stock and turbo speed (100MHz : 3.5/3.9GHz vs 3.4/3.8GHz) Overall , i7 is only a bit faster than i5 (by a hair if you know what I mean) . Since you will OC i5 anyway , so i7 doesn't matter Laptop: Mini PC :: 06-10-2013, 01:19 AM

Sorry for being offtopic but I need to ask:Quote:it looks like a 3570K would be a better a choice since it overclocks higher?How many MHz do you want to overclock ? Would the coolness(only reason I dismissed Haswell first!) be about the same as i5-3570k or only slightly hotter? And the performance? I am upgrading for a laptiop which has an i7 2670QM if you need to know. And from the thread link posted above, it seems Haswell is a dream for emulation, good lord this sounds amazing all of a sudden D: Does PCSX2 come into that equation as well?! Again, forgive me for offtopic :V 06-10-2013, 01:45 AM
Just go with the 4670K and don't care about the details. It'll run everything (including Dolphin, PCSX2, bsnes, and whatever PC gamers play these days) flawlessly and it'll probably run at the same temps as a 3570K.

"Flawlessly"? No. Very well? Yes. It does seem to yield a nice speedup over ivy bridge in both dolphin and pcsx2.
