im just wondering what will make the emulator run faster?

a computer with better processor (like i5 or i7 or equivalent) and a weaker graphics card

or a computer with a processor like i3 (or equivalent) and a stronger graphics card
One might bottleneck the other, so I think getting a medium for both is the best.
The best processor you can find is the best idea as long as the GPU meets the minimum requirements. In a perfect world you would want the best of both worlds.
well i have a i3 processor 2.40 Ghz and im thinking about jsut updating my graphics card cause i have Intel HD which i think is pretty shitty and i dont wanna spend too much
