Hello, I have been tinkering with Dolphin 3.0 on my laptop recently, with decent results.

I have to use .75 Internal Res and 1440x900 resolution with 4X SSAA to play Twilight Princess at 30fps.

I am planning on buying a new computer soon (not a laptop) and want help on a build that would run everything from Mario Galaxy 2 to Skyward Sword in 1080p with 2X internal resolution and 9X SSAA. My budget is up to 900$. Thanks!
Also, these are my current laptop specs:

i7 Q740 @ 1.73GHz (with turboboost) - pretty weak
8GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M - pretty weak

Well with that budget its easy.2500k processor with z68 motherboard,4gb ddr ram,case,psu 520w,500gb sata hdd,dvd drive and geforce 570 gtx graphics card would be somewhere $900 ( maybe $20-30 more )
Thats without monitor. If you need new monitor,then its different story

How would this do for a pre-made?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229264

I tried putting together what you said but I ended up with around 1100$
Never mind that premade is bad. I figured out how to make it under 1K.
What kind of case would you recommend with this:

Sparkle makes bad video cards.

Go with Asus or EVGA.

As for a case...

These are both great.

Honestly, anything higher than a GTX 460 is overkill for dolphin.

not to be a jerk but thats way to expensive for what you have listed. Why are you paying $119 for a 500gb HDD? I bought my 460GTX for under $200 that motherboard is way to expensive. Ill see what I can put together for you. Are you hard set on going with Intel? Here is what i put together thats with 8GB of RAM and a quad core CPU you can add a DVD burner of your choice and we will get a case but I already saved you $300

Intel cpus are basically required if he wants to run games like SMG2 at fullspeed.

God no. He needs a sandy bridge cpu, end of story. I really really wish that AMD made something with decent single thread performance but they don't.

@dart06

You realize that 4xSSAA doesn't work at the moment right?

My recommended build:
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197
CD/DVD burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
HDD: Reuse one from another computer if you can. HDD prices are extremely high right now because of the situation in taiwan.
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131770
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
Cooling: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103057
Graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604

Total build price is just under $900 and that includes a 2500k, a good z68 mobo, a good 620W modular PSU, a good midtower case, 8GB of ddr3 1600 MT/s ram, an aftermarket air cooler, and a high end graphics card (GTX 560 TI). Overclock the 2500k and you have a fool proof rig that can run SMG2 at fullspeed.

I do like what I see here, I'll check it out. Sounds pretty solid.
Also, I just realized 4X doesn't work. All wells.
