Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of building a new computer comprised of the following parts:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gka5

Specs In Short:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1.Sniper M3 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Video Card: Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card

Games:
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
(I get ~70% worst case ~30% on my 2.53Ghz dual core GT240M GPU, minimal settings)
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime

Settings/Tweaks:
I'm wondering how it will fair with DirectX 11 and OpenGL with minimal/default settings with the CPU being OC'd to +4Ghz

Other Comments:
Dolphin isn't the only reason for this machine, that would be silly Tongue
I have other games I can't run on this little bucket I'm using.
I've lurked on topics relating to SA2B, what I saw makes me hopeful, but this is fairly new hardware.

Your feedback is invaluable, Thanks!
That's about as good as you can get right now.
If you overclock your CPU, you have the ultimate Dolphin machine Smile
