This is more then enough to handle Dolphin emulation. You can run higher internal resolutions then 1080p with that hardware and also handle some of the high def texture replacement packs to give GC and Wii titles that extra shine. Don't worry about the HDD for emulation, a 7200RPM drive is faster then the disc drives in a console anyways so the ISOs you make from your games will be fine taking up space on the slower drive.
I hope Star Citizen comes out fully playable before you find a high paying job, settle down with a wife\husband and kids, and no longer have time to play games.... well it might.
