Get an Nvidia card or an HD 6770. 7770 has driver problems which lower performance.
Gimme a GPU budget and off we go!
CPU and everything else is fine.
6770 can do 4x native AKA: 2160 x 1600.
Also in that range: The GTX 560 SE.

Which is a better card, aside from power consumption, so you'd need a an antec or seasonic PSU, or something with 24A or better.
That video card is a little bit on the weak side in general, but yes, you can play at 1080p with Dolphin with that.
I would personally recommend a GTX 550 Ti, based on my experiences (in 1080p!) with my GTS 450, a weaker card.
Nvidia has better drivers, and compatibility.

Or a 6770, whatever.
The 7000 series does have drivers issues with Dolphin, no joke.
No bias.
My last card was an x1550, which worked for 3 years.
Quote:Power Man 500W Power Supply (3x18A on 12V)
Power Man is a no name brand. Get a power supply from a more reputable brand like antec, ocz, corsair, seasonic, etc.
I'd recommend Seasonic, Antec, Cooler Master, or Thermaltake.
And what NV said, of course.
Even so, get a 6000 (AMD) series card or a 400/500 (NVIDIA) series card.
Cooler Master: Yes
Thermaltake: No, only some of their PSUs are decent

Fair enough.
Power Man= Diablotek.
No kidding.
