Since Dolphin is a dual core application , i3 4130 @ 3.4GHz outperform both i5 3570k @ 4.2GHz and FX-8350 @ 5.0GHz in Dolphin Benchmark
For more info and build , see post #6 in this thread
You can change the CPU to Pentium Haswell G3220 @ 3.2GHz which is a lower clock speed i3 Haswell without Hyperthreading to add a dedicated GPU such as AMD R7 250 , swap that WD HDD to SSD .
Edit : Also change the H81M mobo to MSI Z87 G45 mobo . With this mobo , you will have an upgrade route (up to next gen Broadwell i5/i7 k version : support overclocking) . You can keep that H81 mobo but you only are able to upgrade to next gen Broadwell i5/i3 non k version (no overclocking )
non k CPU : i5 4430 , i7 4770 , Xeon E1230v3
k CPU : i5 4670k , i7 4770k
