Hello!
I want to build a PC that has the sole purpose of retro emulation and will always be hooked up to an HDTV with 1080p resolution. Basically an emulator console. I figure the specs only need to be good enough to run dolphin smoothly at 1080p, since that should easily cover other emulators out there. I'm really not sure where to start, seeing as I haven't built a computer myself before. I want to keep it as low budget as possible while still being able to run dolphin smoothly at 1080p.
Could I please have some direction on what parts would fit my needs?
