Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums - Getting a new PC

Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Get a Sandy Bridge pentium 600 series. (G620, G630, 640)

Those could be had for the price you are asking.
They would also do fairly well in some dolphin games.
(Or at least in the ones you keep talking about.)

Can you build it yourself?
Do you need an OS?
Do you have a monitor?
Do you have a HDD?

This assumes you have most of these and a dvd player/ burner.

What GPU do you have?
(Besides the 5450, naturally.)

This should be about 280 pounds. (I think its pounds.)

And before you say anything, Wii isn't always more demanding.

Taking it must be difficult too.

I quite clearly have said since that post over and over again I'm fine going without full screen and have accepted that I'm not going to get perfection. Have you even read the posts since the OP? I also stated that my view of 'perfection' was no lags, freezes. You obviously didn't read it carefully.

No I wouldn't be able to build the PC myself, I wouldn't need an OS as I have windows 7 available, I do have a monitor, it's a 22" LG TV/Monitor. I unfortunately don't have a HDD. If my brothers PC (which to you guys is probably very average) can cope with those games, (it was a whitebox build from eBay, no high quality PSU/RAM etc etc. I'm sure I can find one within my budget that can comfortably run the games I'm asking.

Would you be able to live with a lower end GPU, or can you change out the PSU?

HE ALREADY HAS A DECENT GPU. Read the thread first.

What Graphics card would I be able to have with the PSU you're thinking of?

But a lower end PSU would have trouble with it.

The PSU that comes with them or one you buy separately?

The PSU that comes with the computer you're thinking of? As in, what's the best it could support?

Probably either a Gt 430 (bit of a stretch even then.) or a 7750/6670.

But the 5450 will be fine with almost ANY PSU.

This is an okay deal:

A GT 440 will have an extremely low power consumption. And he already has one so there is no reason for him to not reuse it if he's on such a tight budget.

Looks good. Would you mind if I found a few on eBay and then ran them past you, I'll look for the processors you listed in your other post? Smile
