I don't want to overclock, I want to emulate Wii in almost 90%+ speed without having to overclock my computer.
What about the i5 2400 and i5 2300?

Then get yourself an i5 2500 or i5 3570.

i5 3570 is too expensive and there are no combos for it.
Only i5 3450. Is it better than 2500 ? If it is I'll go for this one, 'cause it's the best and most comfortable combo I've found here.
Please read the combos I've said and tell me which one is the best option to emulate Wii & GC games.

About the same.

Well you've only listed two. The second one is slightly better but also a lot more expensive. I would prefer the first one if I were you.

Alright after 2 days of researching, watching videos, reviews, benchmarks, and much more. Seems that a intel core i5 2500/2500k/ intel core i5 3450 is enough to run Dolphin at 100% speed, hope I'm right according too to the hierarchy thread.

I've got the processor i5 2500k & 4gb ram ddr3 1333 mhz
Is this MOBO good enough for Dolphin?;
Asus P8p67-m or a Asus P8h61-mle
Get the P8P67 board, if you want to overclock
Alright this is my current setup;
Intel Core i5-2500k @ 3.3Ghz
Asus P8p67-m
4GB DDR3 1333 Mhz
500GB HDD
Should I overclock to run SMG in 100% speed? I haven't bought the game, so I can't really test it
adface:
Anyway, what cooling system (cheap one please) should I get to put in my i5 if I would like to overclock?.
An air cooler is sufficient. The Thermalright HR-02 Macho or Gelid Tranquillo cooler are good CPU coolers
And yes, you have to overlock your CPU to 4.4GHz, if you want to play Super Mario Galaxy with LLE.
Can't find any thermalright in my country store.
What about a Thermaltake Ock Clp0575 ?
It's really cheap here atm.
Add;
I'm using a GT240 DDR3 1 GB, and will be thinking of playing on a resolution of 1280x1024 (5:4) or 720p, my monitor isn't huge so will this be enough i believe?.
