i5 4670K
A decent Z87 motherboard
4GB+ RAM (Dolphin only needs 2GB, but some games may use more than 4. Anything past 8 will be expensive for minimal gains)
GTX 750 Ti or better (Beyond the GTX 770, though, it'll likely turn out cheaper to get a cheaper GPU now, and buy another in a couple of years with the money you saved now.) AMD cards are fine too, but I've not got used to their new numbering system yet, so am not sure where the cut off points are.
A decent case
A decent PSU
A decent HDD
Optional: Samsung 840 120GB or better SSD
A decent CPU cooler (for safe overclocking). The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo is great and cheap, but there are other, more expensive options too.
Decent peripherals (Monitor, Keyboard + mouse, speakers etc.)
Windows 7 or 8.1 (Not free unless you have dreamspark) or Linux (many distros are fine, but none will work with DirectX, so you'll be restricted to very few PC games)
If you're willing to build yourself, and if you find a good supplier, the cost can change by a good few hundred dollars, so shop around.
is this pc good enough for these games?

Just saying, with those parts, a computer like that would only be $730 at Canadian prices if you removed the operating system. Add the operating system, and you can still save a lot of money at the US pricing, and not get a garbage machine with a dangerous power supply. But, yes, that computer would perform well for dolphin. But, the thing is, the games you wish to play run at full speed on my piece of crap that one could reproduce for $400.
in a perfect world we would all be piles of sand with no ability to form coherent bodies of body
