I didn't know about the Intel gaming bundle. The sales person didn't say anything to me about it. Dag nabbit! Maybe I ought to go back and ask about the bundle and show them my recent receipt.
I'm glad you see such a nice performance boost. Did you overclock it at all...or is everything stock? At 4Ghz, I doubt you'll have to do any overclocking to run most of the Dolphin games at full speed. My G3258 at 4Ghz is running nearly anything I throw at it at 1080p with a solid 30fps...so I guess the i7 4790k should see similar performances.
The self restraint is sort of out of necessity. I'll go flat broke if I go balls to walls on this new build. I plan to get a video card, ram, and PSU next month...probably 970gtx like you, 16gb, and 600watt respectively. I'd like to liquid cool it...but we'll see when I pick out a case. After putting together the G3258, I'm getting into trying to build something small. I wanna see how much ooomph I can cram into a small case. I think I'll turn my current FX8350 into a NAS box or something.
Regarding the resolution, I'm not too sure about that. I'll defer that to someone on this forum who knows their dolphin shizzz.
Anyway, happy holidays!
