This computer can play Crysis 3 at the highest possible settings on 1080p, 30fps.

I think that qualifies as a "gaming PC for under 600 canadian dollars".
This is what I was going to get, but I was wondering if it could emulate.
You guys aren't doing bad, I can tell you're actually trying to help me, thank you, the only problem is the budget.
Also, this computer will be able to play Watch Dogs, and you need a minimum of 4 cores to play Watch Dogs, and I really wanna play Watch Dogs, Watch Dogs Watch Dogs Watch Dogs...

So let me be completely specific here. Can anyone help me find a processor that is under $150 CAD, is at least 3GHz quad-core, can emulate Dolphin okay and is still a good processor to do other things with?

Simply take the link above (http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Exoquatic/saved/4pwq), swap out the CPU and the Motherboard, and stay under $600.
That's the "challenge". Think of it as a game. Don't change anything else, because I like it that way. Please help me.
I truly thank you for all your support thus far.

$600 worth of PC hardware is what I'd call a "budget gaming computer".

That computer definitely can't play Crysis 3 maxed out at 30 FPS, as triple SLI titans struggle with 60 at high resolutions, and that's not got anything nearly as powerful as a titan.

I've seen benchmarks / gameplay, it ran pretty well at around 30 fps on 1080p.

Board's a piece of crap, PSU choice scares me. Cost reduced in the worst places to reduce cost.

Also, your comment on how no integrated GPU can come close to a graphics card, Iris Pro is already very, very close to my GPU, an overclocked 5770.

A thermaltake PSU scares you? LOL. Okay then.

The answer is yes. Moving on!

I'd like to thank everyone for their help. I am done now, thank you.

EDIT: Okay, I'm not done, I'm just being a stuck up dick.
I'm tired of some people being total asses. Seriously? I'm new to this. Forgive me.
