Why would you get an i7 and combine it with a low end GPU?

thanks, when i bought the GPU i thought to be a mid-range
Going to upgrade

@dokyto:
If that old build ran almost fullspeed on your PC with a low-end AMD CPU, the latest development version should run *even better* (read: much better), due to the latest optimizations (SSEx vertex loader JIT, speedup for paletted textures, optimized MMU, async events, texture pooling, partial texture updates, ZTP speed patch v2 and a *crapload* of JIT64 optimizations).
The problem is your old and extremely weak GPU: the Nvidia GeForce GT 440. Old builds (e.g. 3.0-72) run smoothly for you [even at 3xIR], because they use (inaccurate) floating-point math for shader processing.
But Dolphin switched from floating-point to integer processing in the latest builds for improved accuracy.
Older NVIDIA GPUs just weren't designed for such workloads. That explains the extremely poor performance with the latest dev. builds.
Upgrading to a newer NVIDIA or AMD GPU will give you a massive performance boost, since the latest GPUs are even faster at integer processing (compared to FP processing).
