Maybe I can make a compromise. What's a good, cheap, 4 core CPU?
Would it be able to run these games okay?

Real quick, to clarify, I would be running these games with no graphical enhancements. Maybe resolution increase, but definitely not ever past 720p and at completely native graphical settings with performance tweaks enabled. Are you sure that the FX-6300 wouldn't be able to run these games? It's pretty fast...

Well you could opt for i5 4670k and use the integrated graphics instead of a dedicated card.. and then just buy a dedicated card when you can afford to. Sounds like a smart idea to me.

Dolphin doesn't require much for native resolution.

The fx-6300 has a high clock speed and 6 cores, but it's instructions per core (IPC) is god awful, along with most AMD cpu's. My athlon 750k is clocked at 3.4ghz quad core but the i3 4130 is far superior. The reason I got this though was because it was $80 and this is an extreme budget build. Definitely not future proof and I am going to upgrade soon.

That's why I'm saying get the 4670k. It's an investment.
