Your specs are fine dude, don't waste money on upgrades you don't need.
I have an i7 3770K along with a ASUS R9 290 card and I can do Super Mario Galaxy 1080p just fine although I have overclocked a little.
If you can overclock your current CPU you'll be fine, it's actually quite easy if you read OC forums for your specific CPU.
Yes @admin89 I know my i7 3770K is a couple of years old but it's not that old to be labeled outdated nor is the i7 4770K. These CPU's still handles Dolphin dandy.
Outdated for me is Core2Duo or Core2Quad CPU's and older.
And remember, Dolphin version and settings is also crucial. It's no rocket science to configure Dolphin correctly and there's tooltips for most of the settings so it should be pretty straightforward.
If you still got problems running Super Mario Galaxy after overclocking then there is something wrong with your system or something else because your system should handle it!
Just my 2 cents.
