Actually though. Unless you're doing video editing the benefits that the i7 provides over the i5 (hyperthreading) are useless, no games or casual applications utilize it atm and won't need to in the foreseeable future. Get an i5 4690k, which is slightly cheaper, has better OC, and is better for Dolphin.
Also, Dolphin can use 3 cores, not just 2
I do video editing, getting an i7 was thoughtful. I was just afraid that a 6-core CPU with a "low" frequency causes significant performance degrades, because Dolphin only uses tree. And, if you understand what i mean in this rough english, a single core of a 4-core CPU gots more power than a single core of a 6-core cpu(EDIT:This is what I'm afraid of.). I wish that the CPU can handle Dolphin properly, for video editing and converting etc. this CPU is recommened.
