Hi, I'm on a tight budget but I want to build a good inexpensive desktop that will handle Dolphin emulator well.
It is my understanding from what I've seen, that dolphin relies more on the CPU than the GPU, unlike other pc games, and requires great single-core performance, that's why I want to choose the Intel Pentium G3258 CPU with a low cost motherboard that will support overclocking. For that, I used this guide to try to help me find the right motherboard: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2389948
Here's the build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/g3FWjX
Graphics card-wise, I'm going to try using the integrated HD4600 for now, I've heard that intel's integrated graphics have gone a very long way within the last couple of years, otherwise I'll probably stick on a NVidia GTX 750 if there's a real need.
Anyway, my main two areas of concern is, will the motherboard I chose support my Pentium G3258 CPU (that compatibility note is scaring me), and is my PSU wattage good?
