Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

You'd need a new mobo in which case you should just go for ivybridge

Z77 MoBo + Core i5-3750k = the ultimate Dolphin machine

Yeah but you should go for an Intel equivalent. That's what I'm planning to for a new config (3770K is teasing me)

Intels are too expensive.

But they offer the best performance

And when you compare them to AMD's performance they are worth it

Basically, there's a reason why AMD don't charge as much as Intel. If they did, they'd lose all their customers ie those who can't afford Intel.
