Let me know how well I can run...
Super Mario galaxy
Zelda twilight princess
Zelda skyward sword

And if you could, tell me what I need to upgrade...
Also. I bought a GameCube controller and GameCube to USB coverter so I can play n64 games with a controller...
Would I be able to use this for GameCube or wii games?
Thanks!!!

You won't be able to run SMG at full speed in all areas with LLE (which you need) unless you overclock to 4.4GHz.

Most games will run very good. Certain games such as Mario Galaxy require LLE and will require you to overclock your CPU a bit.
Since you also got a good CPU cooler, go for the 4.5GHz. It should be easy to achieve.

So, i'll be able to run zelda skyward sword and gamecube games like zelda wind waker and mario party?
Also has anybody thought about what i said about my gamecube controll + usb adapter?
So what would you guys suggest i upgrade? My CPU?

I appreciate the help guys.

Yes. If you overclock your CPU to 4.4/4.5 GHz, you're able to play all your games very well. (even with LLE)

Without overclocking...
Can i run Zelda skyward sword? =[

I don't know.

but you have a decent CPU cooler. Therefore overclocking isn't very dangerous for the CPU.

It should handle SS even at stock speed but not SMG

SMG, SMG2 and some other games needs DSP LLE and therefore they're very hard to emulate

Only an i5-2500k/i7-2600k @ 4.4/4.5 GHz can handle them very well.

I see. Can anybody tell me what LLE is? Or point me to a thread that will explain it to me?
