Will my new built computer be able to handle Dolphin properly?

Yea that's good specs, I would prefer 2.6 quad over 2.8 dual, dolphin doesn't support the extra 2 cores but it will help with your pc performance

The AMD Athlon II X4 620 is a quadcore.

I can give you some options :-
1. You WILL Have to wait till your budget grows....I will have to wait till december...D:
2. Go get some parts, like GPU second hand, I myself will get one second hand...:p
3. Go for AMD and ATI...Intel and nVIDIA will burn through your already empty pocket...

I have 2 days left to buy a new PC and I saw some friend of mine (who has AMD 5000 Dual-Core) running Brawl at full speed! WTF!
Maybe you people underestimate the powers of CPU's and because Fraps lags on YouTube, it seems you need a very new CPU in order to perform at full speed... I don't think that's true? Even my dad's Pentium 4 with score 300 ran Brawl at 35% speed... So maybe I don't even need Quad-Core? What do you think?

You should forget about Passmark! It's absolutely crap! If you think that an old Athlon X2 is ok for you than get one! ... I would prefer a Core2Duo or i5.

Hmm...
I need Admin89 to make a brawl/ twilight princess vid for me, without fraps or recording software... or give me screenshots of speeds to see what E5300 is capable of...

[admin89]

All you need is Nvidia 9800Gt,even my Pentium D can fullspeed SMBB with it
Twilight Princess ? No,you need corei5 atleast ,even corei7 have 4 FPS in hyrule field

[darkshadw]

12 FPS here in hyrule (100% completed story)...
Pretty slow >.<...

Planning on buying an i7 :o!

[Diathorus]

Okay people, thanks all for the tremendous help, I think I have made the right decision:

CPU: AMD Phenom Triple Core 8250 1,9 GHZx3
RAM: 2 GB DDR2 667 MHZ
GPU: ATI HD4650 1GB

(Mobo=FoxConn)

I am conviced this'll run Brawl at full speed (without Fraps )
And Twilight Princess at 85% speed.
Hmm... But E5300 is 2.6x2... ah well
-.-

[turingpest]

that phenom isn't very good. an e5300 would be faster for dolphin. a phenom II 545/550 would be faster still. and i would try to find a second hand hd4670 or a 9600gt instead of that hd4650.
