I've wanted to build a new pc for dolphin for some time now. I mainly want to play the metroid prime trilogy and smg 1 and 2. I've looking through the forums and I have a budget of $850 including a new monitor. The parts i'm thinking of getting are:
i3 4130
gtx 750 ti
asrock b85m pro4
seasonic g 550
8 gigs kingston beast ram
Will a setup like this be able to run the previous games with anti aliasing and 2-3x IR? If not, please tell me what i could do to improve them.
That's pretty poor choice for a $850 rig . You should tell us :
_Where you live (US : Newegg / Microcenter or UK : Scan / Canada : Newegg.ca ....)
_Your monitor in details (720p ~ 4k res , TN Panel with LED or IPS , price ....)
I don't know the exact requirements for Metroid Prime these days, but with such a pricey computer for the sake of Dolphin, I would get a better CPU, like i5 3570k. At least that CPU is more than enough for almost all games. (CPU is the most important part for Dolphin).

i5 3570k is a lot worse than i3 4130
Wouldn't an i5 4670K paired with a Z97 motherboard be a good choice?
The problem is with all the other parts (hard drive, new keyboard, case, etc.) its hard not to go over budget with parts like those. I also want to play battlefield so i can't really rely on the intergrated graphics for that.
Many thanks to all those who responded, particularly admin89 for the great parts list. Now just to get those parts...
