I have been looking around for awhile now and trying to see what would be the best for dolphin to run with and for cheap as possible. i was thinking of getting something on ebay if possible. ive looked at...Custom AMD FX 4.5G Quad Core x4 Radeon Gaming Desktop Computer PC DDR3. it has an Integrated Radeon 3000 Graphics Adapter, AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core, 4.5 ghz, 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz. im just looking for some input, since my computer i have now is several years old, im due for a new one anyways, i think it looks good for dolphin, but i would love to hear some opinions on if it will be able to run smoothly. plus i would love to get other emulators too Smile. thanks in advance for any help.

Pls stay away from the AMD FX series. The Faildozer performs poory with Dolphin. An AMD Phenom II X4 will beat the AMD FX.

The best choice is of course an Intel CPU. (Core i5-3570k)

If you don't have money for graphic card then Llano 3870k is your choice .
Or wait for A10 5800k or A8 5600k

We don't have enough information about your current PC to say whether this will work. You'll probably have to buy a new z77 motherboard.
OS: Windows 10 64 bit Professional
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900X
RAM: 16GB
GPU: Radeon Vega 56
