I want to build a pc that can run dolphin at decent speeds but I can't make money easily because I am 14 and I don't want to wait 2 years to get a part time job. I know I will need an Intel processor but I want a core i series but not an i7 unless there is one for extremely cheep. I don't plan to overclock because I probably won't need it. I don't have any computers that can be upgraded because one is a laptop, one is an Intel NUC with the exact same specs and a 2014 mac mini. The mac mini probably would do great if I put windows on there but I want to keep it an OS X only machine. If there was an unofficial backend for metal then I wouldn't need to build a new computer. I know a lot about computers so you don' need to explain what everything is. I don't mind using an i3 at first but I probably will upgrade to i5 eventually. A pentium might even do the trick until I upgrade so if you know of a pentium model that can run dolphin OK than let me know. I don't need help with the motherboard, hard drive or psu. Graphics card I might be OK on because I found a GT 420 for $40 and the case I need one that will run dolphin well. (Just kidding the case I am good on but feel free to suggest some cool looking budget cases preferably micro ATX) I just need a cheap cpu and I know I won't ind an i5 in that range. I probably will have to start with a pentium and upgrade to an i5 later. Also, I am good on monitors. I have 2 great ones although I might not use them both at once unless I can have one running off integrated graphics but if the cpu doesn't have any, that is fine because I only need one. Thanks
