Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Thanks that's very helpful I think ill get the Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz, so all I need with this is a motherboard right?

Please stop quoting.

Yes.

You would be best off with an h61 or h67 motherboard.

Pick what you like best.
I recommend: Asus, Gigabyte, or Msi.

Now remember that for the most part g860 and i3 2100 will play about identically for emulation.
You'll only see improvement on pc games.
Factor that into your purchase.

Yes for the quote post after I posted sorry about that

Thanks for all the help guys, ill see if I can find that mobo and cpu someone in my country before I order them online.

I doubt you'll see a significant difference in pc gaming. The primary difference between the core i3 and pentium series cpus is HT, which pc games and emulators both tend to gain no benefit from.

get i3 2100 or 2120 cuz the number of threads doesnt help in anything. The mobo could be an Asus P8Z68-V LE(for future upgrades to ivy bridge and pcie 3.0 video cards) and a good video card (up to GTX 560ti or HD 6870) and i think u going to be fine.
