Hey folks, I am currently looking to buy a new pc, I want to make it as pro-dolphin as possibly without going over about a 1500$ (canadian) budget. Here is what i've come out with as my best option so far:
1 x Intel Core i5 750 Quad Core Processor Lynnfield LGA1156 2.66GHZ 8MB Cache Retail Box
1 x MSI P55-CD53 ATX LGA1156 P55 DDR3 PCI-E16 3PCI-E1 3PCI SATA GBLAN DrMOS OC Genie Motherboard
1 x G.SKILL F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH Ripjaws PC3-10666 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1333 CL7-7-7-21 Core I5 1.65V Memory Kit
1 x MSI GeForce GTX 295 576MHZ 1792MB 2.016HZ GDDR3 PCI-E 2XDVI Video Card
1 x Antec Nine Hundred Mid Tower Gamer Case 900 ATX 9 Drive Bay No PS Top USB2.0 1394 Audio
1 x Seasonic SS-650HT 650W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 80PLUS 6PIN PCI-E 120MM Fan OEM
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA2 3.5IN 8.5MS 7200RPM 16MB Hard Drive OEM *3YR MFR Warranty*
1 x Samsung SH-S223C 22X DVD Writer SATA Black OEM
1 x nGear Flash Card Reader 3.5IN Internal USB Black CF/SM/SDHC/MMC/MS/XD 18IN Cable
Not to shabby for about 1400, but is there anything that is a blatent no-go for dolphin-related gameplay? I figured I'd go with an nvidia card this time around since my ATI 4850 was so-so with opengl, actually, it wasn't very friendly with opengl at all.
Your advice would be appreciated.
