Upgrading to a phenom II X6 will not improve performance at all. Dolphin only uses 2 cores by default so upgrading from a quad core to a hexacore cpu will not make any difference to dolphin.

Upgrading RAM won't help either. Dolphin only needs 300-600MB of memory depending on the game. With windows 7 you only need 2GB of ram or more. Having more than that won't improve performance because dolphin won't use the extra memory availible, it doesn't need it.

Your graphics card is already well beyond the needs of dolphin, upgrading it won't make any difference either.

The best upgrade you could make to your system is to buy an P67 or Z68 motherboard and a i5 2500K cpu. That would improve performance in dolphin considerably.

You have not given us your settings (screenshots of them) or told us which version of dolphin you are using. Without that information we can't tell you whether your hardware is the problem or not.
