So... What should I do then?

my only concern is, can it run full speed? like 60fps full speed with core i7-3770?
if you use the build i am using (currently dolphin-master-4.0-3239-x64) it will run full speed, however if you can upgrade to the haswell architecture and get the parts suggested mentioned in the prior posts to this you will better overall performance for dolphin. the reason why i have not bothered with the Pentium is because i prefer quad core and both my i5 and i7 run the games i want to play on dolphin.

Wow, so basically even if I upgrade my processor from core i7-3770, it can't run games like WWE 13 on 60fps? Should I upgrade my motherboard then?

You should get these.
Gee.. That's like a downgrade over my parts?
i am actually saying the contrary you should be able to run wwe 13 full speed with the i7 3770 i did so with my i5 3570. If you want more speed (on dolphin) upgrade your motherboard and get the pentium, i didnt go for the pentium because it only has 2 cores. My i5 3570 would still be better in other multi-threaded applications than the pentium. With dolphin-master-4.0-3239-x64 i got full speed on wwe 13 using the i5 3570
The g3258 is a upgrade. Look up what The Pentium g3258 is.

Yeah, no. That Pentium can match an i7-4970k in performance (in dolphin), I believe, once OC'd to about 4.2 GHz

The 4790K boosts to 4.4GHz at stock settings.
So no, the Pentium can't beat the 4790K unless you use a lot of money on cooling
Still, it's a great buy for Dolphin
What are you talking about? The g3258 goes to 4.7 GHz on stock/cheap cooling.
I'd recommend either one these 2.

The i3 will give you hyperthreading and, since it's a haswell at 3.7GHz, should perform around 30-40% better in dolphin than your cpu.
The G3258 is cheaper and can overclock pretty well, but without hyperthreading it won't probably perform as well in games that use more than 2 cores.
edit - switched to a better motherboard
