Going up to a 3rd gen i5 won't really give you that big of a speed increase.
You should get the Haswell G3258 and a Z97 board, it will allow you to overclock to around 4.5 Ghz and perform just like the i5-4690K/i7-4790K at around the same speeds, because Dolphin is a dual-core program, so the faster the 2 cores are the faster Dolphin runs (extra cores on the i5/i7 only help with runing background processes)

I get that the G3258 is an incredible piece of silicon for dolphin, but I always wonder

"Well what if they want to run other things than just Dolphin"

I imagine modern games would cry at Pentium class CPUs.

It's still faster than most chips from AMD, and games work on those adequately.

I would honestly just get a 2500k and overclock it. You can find used ones for like $150

His current system is a 2nd-gen i3, it's very unlikely his motherboard have a chipset that allow overclocking...
