This configuration should work for a lot of modern non-Dolphin games too, but frankly the goal of running "every game" at 1080p and max fps is not realistic. For games that can run at arbitrary frame rates (i.e., the speed of gameplay is not tied to the FPS), it doesn't matter whether you get 75, 135 or 300 FPS. There's also a big difference between game speeds depending on the complexity of the game, the efficiency of the programming or game engine, and the graphical settings. (For example, a game might perform well with low or medium settings, but lag on high settings with all the bells and whistles enabled.)
I believe a computer that can run *every* game well on high settings (including those that are massively complex or poorly programmed) is beyond your stated budget.
Is this good enough?
