I live in Canada and i am on a budget.This computer is the only one i can afford at the moment and was wondering if it will be able to run dolphin(for gamecube games).My son is always on the gamecube with his friend's and i am trying to play through all my Zelda and metroid titles but he always wins the battle hahah.

Here is the comp

For those who do not want to read the link this is basically it
AMD FX-Series FX-8120(3.1GHz)
AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
Will tha be good enough?
Pls ,don't get an AMD FX. The performance per core is really bad >.>

Buy rather a PC with Z77 MoBo and Core i5.3670k. Wink
Quote:Core i5.3670k
Core i5 3570k
@OP you should read some threads on Hardware section 、 Those question「why FX-series is called Faildozer...」 or something like that have been answered 100times

Ok i found

It has- Intel Core i5 3570(3.40GHz)
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 610

Is that better? Would i need a better graphic card? I do not play alo of pc games but i would not mind to play some if i could.

Better but it is not a 3570k. Reducing your facility to overclock (often needed with Dolphin)

You buy a pc , not "build" it

Prebuilt PC = Overpriced piece of **** component
I5 3570 doesn't have overclocking capabilily as much as i5 3570k
H61 mobo -> Amen for that , No futute upgrading
Nvidia GT 610 is crap
I could build a much faster pc than that for only 600-700$ (You should ask someone else since i'm sleepy right now)

Yeah, better. But the i5-3570 is not overclockable. You need a PC with a Z77 MoBo and a Core i5-3570k. The "k" stands for "overclock". Besides, the GPU is weak.

Edit: ninja'd
ahh that sucks as that is all i can afford in the forseeable future .Either the amd one or the intel one and this card
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6814130770---- GeForce GTX 560 SE (Fermi)

If neither of hose can handle pcsx2 or comp games i guess i am SOL oh well i will just have to learn to share with my son i guess haha.
