No, no, no, yes, no, no, no, yes, and yes.
Sorry, but most of the games you selected are very CPU heavy.
And to top it off, that laptop doesn't have a Dedicated GPU.
You'd be better off playing them on a real Wii.
It won't be enough for the most demanding games such as Metroid Prime series and SMG 1 & 2.
Zelda games should be playable. Zelda WW at least
Unfortunately not. SMG 1/2 and metroid prime require a 4.2-4.4 GHz core i5 3570K in order to run full speed. Skyward sword is very demanding as well, and because you don't have a dedicated GPU you won't be able to play much more than a couple of GameCube games. Maybe Wind Waker. I don't know about I-ninja (don't know the game).
So i need a more powerful i5(upper 3000's) and a dedicated gpu to run the more powerful games.
I suggest the OP should not make so many threads
You would make 5 threads for 5 laptop ??? It's annoying IMO
Just post your question in single thread
I would seriously suggest a budget DESKTOP with a middle end GPU. (GTX 550 Ti or better.)
That way, even if you can't play everything on dolphin, you can still have a good PC gaming experience.

I would seriously recommend replacing the PSU if you actually like this option.
Personally I wouldn't buy the laptop at all. Anything with Intel graphics in worthless for gaming.
