Hello, I have been tinkering with Dolphin 3.0 on my laptop recently, with decent results.
I have to use .75 Internal Res and 1440x900 resolution with 4X SSAA to play Twilight Princess at 30fps.
I am planning on buying a new computer soon (not a laptop) and want help on a build that would run everything from Mario Galaxy 2 to Skyward Sword in 1080p with 2X internal resolution and 9X SSAA. My budget is up to 900$. Thanks!
Also, these are my current laptop specs:
i7 Q740 @ 1.73GHz (with turboboost) - pretty weak
8GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M - pretty weak

Well with that budget its easy.2500k processor with z68 motherboard,4gb ddr ram,case,psu 520w,500gb sata hdd,dvd drive and geforce 570 gtx graphics card would be somewhere $900 ( maybe $20-30 more )
Thats without monitor. If you need new monitor,then its different story
not to be a jerk but thats way to expensive for what you have listed. Why are you paying $119 for a 500gb HDD? I bought my 460GTX for under $200 that motherboard is way to expensive. Ill see what I can put together for you. Are you hard set on going with Intel? Here is what i put together thats with 8GB of RAM and a quad core CPU you can add a DVD burner of your choice and we will get a case but I already saved you $300

The HAF 912 is still a good case, right?

God no. He needs a sandy bridge cpu, end of story. I really really wish that AMD made something with decent single thread performance but they don't.
@dart06
You realize that 4xSSAA doesn't work at the moment right?
My recommended build:

CD/DVD burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
HDD: Reuse one from another computer if you can. HDD prices are extremely high right now because of the situation in taiwan.

Total build price is just under $900 and that includes a 2500k, a good z68 mobo, a good 620W modular PSU, a good midtower case, 8GB of ddr3 1600 MT/s ram, an aftermarket air cooler, and a high end graphics card (GTX 560 TI). Overclock the 2500k and you have a fool proof rig that can run SMG2 at fullspeed.
I do like what I see here, I'll check it out. Sounds pretty solid.
Also, I just realized 4X doesn't work. All wells.
I recomend you:
Mobo: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) ddr3 1600

GPU: EVGA 02G-P3-1559-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX
