Hey guysSmile
Figured i'd just write to tell you that i have bought my selected pc components and that i got them last saturday. I didn't have enough time to do anything that day, but on sunday i tried installing the CPU cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO), since i found out that it actually worked with my current motherboard. I thought i could install it without removing the motherboard, but while that did kinda hold true, it would require more work than i thought, so I haven't done anything yet. Ofc, i have to remove my old motherboard completely when i'm gonna install my new CPU anyway, but I though i'd tackle 1 component installation at a time, so i figured that if i could install the cooler without removing anything, then that would be a good start. Oh well, i'm going to try installing everything (motherboard, CPU, Cooler) on Friday or saturday.

I'll make sure to tell you all how it goes, cheers guysWink

What games are you trying to play, and what Dolphin version are you using? You're probably hitting a CPU bottleneck, not GPU

Any current Nvidia GTX 6 or 7 series, for AMD the new R7/R9 cards.

Also, please make a new thread instead of reviving one from the dead.
This thread is almost 5 years old, and way out of date (regarding the first page). Instead of bringing this old thread up, like KHg8m3r said, make a new thread, but READ THESE RULES FIRST. Specifically, you'll need to tell us what games you want to play and at what level of graphical detail if you're interested in a new GPU (though honestly, you could do with a new CPU as well, just my opinion).

Closed.
