If you can stretch it I would definitely go with the board and processor admin89 suggested. It has usb 3.0 and sata iii. Then just save up for a better cpu. But before you go run off and buy this stuff you do want to make sure of a few things first. Assuming you are going to use your existing drives and case to save money you need to check that all the drives are sata and not pata/ide and that your case isn't some sort of weird proprietary form factor or BTX.

G2020 + Asrock B75 + Gskill 4GB 1600Mhz (2 sticks) + AMD 7750 = 253$
With 300$ you should buy new power supply as well http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6817371033 Laptop: Mini PC :: 02-23-2013, 03:00 PM

A $400 system would not run dolphin that well.

Yeah , that's true
Minimum : 600$ for i5 3450 @ 3.9GHz (Asrock Z77 Pro 4) rig With only 400$ you can swap G2020 to G2120 (200MHz higher but 30$ up) and buy new PC case Ah , i forgot to mention about thermal compound Arctic MX-4 (10$ on newegg) which you must buy Laptop: Mini PC :: 02-24-2013, 02:45 AM
