Your processor is too slow for Dolphin. No way to run any game at decent speed

No. That CPU is too weak to play any game at decent speeds, the best choice processor is an i5-3570k or i5-2500k overclocked to 4.2 and 4.5 respectively.
EDIT: Ninja'd.....2ice.
k then can i put that i5-3570k or i5-2500k in my pc since i posted the specs already about my pc?? and where can i go to buy it?? also if i buy a really good grafix card would that help at all to run dolphin and would it help if i add two more gbs of ram in my pc??

No. You need a different motherboard and probably a better power supply. Possibly even a bigger chassis.

Quote:and where can i go to buy it??

Any retailer that sells computer parts.

Not until you upgrade the cpu. Then yes.

No.
