Granted the HD 6670 will certainly do better, enough for 3x IR, according to the Minimum GPU Specs thread, a GT 520 is enough to play at 1x IR, given its bandwidth of 14.4 GB/s. It's not accurate to say that it won't play anything. It'll play GC and Wii games just fine (which is what the OP asked) though not in HD.
It's not the best low-end card to have. I wouldn't buy it (and I didn't), but it's capable of the basics for Dolphin.
Yes, but if OP wants to resell his card or actually make some use out of it he will not be able to. BUT if he chooses to go with the 6670, he could play almost any game out there (some on low, but allot on medium or more). The resale value on the 6670 will be very good I believe, whereas the GT520 no one will want, especially A used one.

The GDDR5 version of the 6670 is better than the GT 240 in every way, and they are priced 5$ apart. You will not even be able to find A benchmark comparison because it is not needed, the 6670 is the clear winner.
Here's A benchmark to prove it.
As you can see, Crysis 2 on High with playable framerates.
