Now that is a rig and a half. *DIES*
Strange that you don't have an SSD though. Not that it would make Dolphin any faster or anything.

Have you tried, i don`t know... download Dolphin and load the games?

seriusly, you are just bragging...

[Lumbeeslayer]

STOP TROLLING. You Can Run Dolphin, you know you can. That's an overkill PC. Please tell me you didn't just build that with sole intention just to run dolphin. Your Specs are better then mine. >_<

If you would like to save more cash , I would suggest you get a i5 4690K, Its just as good and powerful in dolphin and PC games and you want really see a difference over i7 4790K

[Growlith1223]

I have a 4690k OC'd to 4.7GHz and it runs SMG 1 perfectly fine, so by that, should give you a reference that a 4790k would work perfectly fine with 1 and 2. however as someone has already said, it would be best to get the 4690k UNLESS you are recording/streaming at the same time. otherwise, the i5 is the best choice. Another note is you can also save money on the wattage, you don't need 1000w to run that build, more like 850W. Anywho, really nice build you're getting there. 980s aren't too great though, would be better to go for 970s.

[AnyOldName3]

If he's got 980s, he's more likely to be using hardware encoding for streaming or recording, so the i7 might show little benefit even in those situations.

[Growlith1223]

Not necessarily, if he's wanting to max everything AND stream, then the gpu would be a small problem. the extra threads work both ways. Not to mention, Nvidia Encoding isn't really all that great.
