Right now, I'm using a GeForce 610 and a Core 2 Quad Q660 2.4GHz. Obviously rubbish, so I'm shopping for upgrades over the next 6-12 months. I'd just like a few recommendations.
How important is the GPU for Dolphin? I have a broken Radeon 4870, is it worth getting it repaired, or should I buy a totally new GPU?
Is a CPU like the i5-4440 or i5-3330 worth purchasing, or is the leap to an i7-4790 a massive improvement?
I'm not a huge gamer and I'm on a budget, so I'm not looking for high-end best-of-the-best gear. But at the same time I'm being realistic and not expecting to run Skyward Sword at 1080p on a $50 GPU. What purchases would you make as a Dolphin user today if you were trying to be a bit thrifty?
