Can I somehow enable multi-core support? Make it rely more on the GPU?
Like I said, the i3 4130 is the same price as the fx 6300 and will perform 10x better in Dolphin. In addition, the fx 6300 will only perform marginally better in multithreaded operations, about 15%, than the i3. Don't fall under the false assumption that clock speed/amount of cores = performance. The i3 is of the latest haswell architecture and despite it only having two cores it is 50% faster in single threaded operations and only 15% slower in mulithreaded.
And no you cannot enable more than 2 core support or make it rely more on the GPU. That's not how emulation works.
Okay, I will consider an i3 but the problem is I need a different motherboard. I need a dirt cheap one, too. How does this one look?

The size fits my case. The original mobo I was using was this one http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/biostar-motherboard-a960d
Please help!!!
