While FX 8350 is powerful for multi-threaded application , it's poor choice for Emulator such as Dolphin since Dolphin is a dual core application
Why ? AMD Piledriver's single threaded performance a.k.a performance per core is poor
Stock i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz easily outperforms OCed FX-8350 @ 5.0GHz in Dolphin Benchmark
The new Anniversary (Unlocked) Pentium @ G3258 is extremely good at overclocking (4.6GHz on Intel Stock fan , no need aftermarket cooler ) . It has been tested with Dolphin recently :

Pentium G3258 @ 4.5GHz beats i7 4770k @ 4.3GHz in our benchmark so it should be the best bang for buck CPU right now
Pentium G3258 (75$)
Asrock Z97 Pro4(110$)
Sapphire R7 265(150$)
WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm (60$)
Gskill Ripjaws X Series 2x4GB 1600MHz (80$)
Arctic MX-4 (10$)
Silverstone USB3.0 Mid Tower Case (35$)
Seasonic 400W 80 Plus PSU with Japanese Caps (43$)
Total cost : 563$
Btw : Coolmax is a no name power supply , it could fail anytime and kill your desktop components
