Hello all I really need help I have a computer I highly believe can handle this, but it honestly cannot it is a Windows 8 HP AMD A8-6500 with Radeon 8570D HD Graphics Card 3.50GHz, 8 GBC RAM 7.19GB usable, 64 - bit x64 processor. Please help me understand as to why I can't even play this game on the lowest settings with a computer that was 600 dollars and can play many many other games on high settings easily.

Your PC is weak for Dolphin . AMD CPUs have poor single threaded performance . Dolphin is a dual core application , high single threaded performance CPU like i5 4670k is recommended
Even heavily overclocked top of the line AMD 8350 @ 5.0GHz is still slower than a mid range i3 4130 in our Dolphin Benchmark
Your AMD APU is low-end CPU , you should not expect good speed out of it

Because you didn't build it by yourself . OEM / Prebuilt PCs are all overpriced craps with horrible components
If you built it by yourself then you should have a top of the line i5 rig for the same price . I'm not kidding
Here is an example :

PC gaming is heavily optimized for your PC . Emulation is not . Try to imagine you run a PC inside a PC like Virtual machine
