You already have an i3 Ivy Bridge CPU , there is no point in getting another Ivy Bridge CPU . If you desperately need a better CPU atm , just get i5 3470 (locked version)

thanks for the advice. I had no idea the next gen was already coming soon xP I've been looking into the new radeon r9's. Is dolphin gonna be able to take advantage of Mantle? i would assume that not having to use a conventional back end could increase Emulation speed
