Quote:Is EVGA really a much better buy ?

If you want your GPU to last long , you must choose EVGA brand
You should get this version :

It's ultra quiet

Do I need to overclock my processor to be able to run all games even without any dolphin graphic enhancements?

You can't overclock a locked multiplier processor . Unlocked CPU : Pentium G3258 < i5 4670k < i7 4770k < i5 4690k < i7 4790k
No CPU is capable of running all games full speed btw
If you want to run more demanding games at full speed , you should get unlocked Pentium G3258 (Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition ~ 75$ ) + Z97 mobo that support overclocking
Dolphin is a dual core application . i3's Hyperthreading (2 cores 4 threads) is useless . Pentium G3258 (2 cores 2 threads) can be pushed to 4.6GHz with Intel stock fan . At that speed , it will kill any i3 . However , Intel stock fan is noisy , you should buy Noctua NH-l9i
