Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of building a new computer comprised of the following parts:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gka5

Specs In Short:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1.Sniper M3 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Video Card: Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card

Games:
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
(I get ~70% worst case ~30% on my 2.53Ghz dual core GT240M GPU, minimal settings)
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime

Settings/Tweaks:
I'm wondering how it will fair with DirectX 11 and OpenGL with minimal/default settings with the CPU being OC'd to +4Ghz

Other Comments:
Dolphin isn't the only reason for this machine, that would be silly Tongue
I have other games I can't run on this little bucket I'm using.
I've lurked on topics relating to SA2B, what I saw makes me hopeful, but this is fairly new hardware.

Your feedback is invaluable, Thanks!

If you overclock your CPU, you have the ultimate Dolphin machine Smile
