I guess MSI mobo is an exception . However , Don't cheap out on motherboard , pay a little more and get something decent . A55 is low-end , it usually pair with non-overclockable system
You can overclock CPU with stock fan but it won't get good result . Common , CM 212 Evo is dust cheap !
If you only built PC for Dolphin (and PC gaming) , didn't care about video encoding . I would suggest sth different :
Pentium Haswell G3220 is basically the same CPU as 4th gen i3 but it has lower clock speed , it doesn't have Hyperthreading . Dolphin doesn't care about Hyperthreading so that doesn't matter
Take a look at Dolphin Benchmark : https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-the-legend-of-zelda-the-wind-waker-cpu-benchmark
3rd gen Pentium Ivy Bridge G2030 blow A10 5800K @ 3.8GHz out of the water
4th gen Pentium Haswell G3220 is about 20% faster than G2030 (Haswell is 20% faster than Ivy Bridge in Dolphin Benchmark)
Even if you overclock A10 5800k to the max , it can't beat Pentium G2030 in Dolphin . If I was you , I would prefer a stable system in this case
Build :
Pentium G3220 (69$ on newegg)
Asrock H81M with Solid Caps (59$ on newegg)
EVGA GT 630 (63$ on newegg)
This build should be ok for 2.5x Internal Resolution (1600x1320) , no AA , 16x AF . GT 630 power comsumption is so low that you don't have to get a very good Power Supply
