Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Is the 7% speed noticeable in real world usage? But its better at power consumption right?
Do you think its worth getting a small SSD for just the OS and a 3.5" for data? or maybe a 256gb ssd for both? And are Hybrids good for my setup?
And the motherboard, Ive been reading another forum and came across this http://www.amazon.co.uk/H81M-PLUS-Motherboard-Socket-Intel-Express/dp/B00EIG2O2O its only £42. Will this do the job? Do I need the ASRock? I take it the motherboards have builtin bluetooth and wifi?
Money saved can maybe go towards an ssd or ram
Can I use this for ram? If need be I can buy another for 16gb http://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-Series-1600MHz-Memory-Module/dp/B00J8E92M6/ref=pd_sim_147_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1W0SKGTM7442KH88CV6H

More Ram ≠ More performance
You will never able to use more than 8Gb of RAM

A micro ATX mobo will never fit an ITX case . It's too big
Just don't cheap out on mobo

Quote:3.5" for data

Again , 3.5 is too big for that case . 2.5" or smaller size is recommended

SSHD is slower than SSD

Like 84FPS vs 78 FPS ?
GTX 750 is better at power consumption though

Thank you for the reply again
About the ram, Dolphin doesn't use up more than 8gb ram or the build I've got cant maximize on ram? In any case, the single 8gb should be fine and I can upgrade should I need to?
That was a noob mistake on my part but is there another good itx mobo but slightly cheaper
edit: This ok? http://www.misco.co.uk/product/2169219/Asus-Asus-H81T-ITX-Socket-Motherboard-ITX-Socket-Motherboard?fromProductList=Category+list
Can I get this instead of the Red? http://www.misco.co.uk/product/199756/WD-Blue-1TB-2-5-SATA-9-5mm-Internal-Hard-Drive as I may be able to get it cheaper through Misco and other components also . Both 7mm and 9.mm fine? I believe the Red and Blue are both 5400rpm. Are they better than the other 2.5" 7200rpm drives?
About the the video cards, I can use the hdmi port or from the mobo? Guess it comes down to higher fps better power consumption.

that mobo might not even support g3258 which belongs to haswell refresh series
Even if it does , you will not able to overclock g3258
not to mention its onboard audio chipset is terrible compared to asrock z97e
Don't make me repeat again . Don't cheap out on mobo or you will regret it . A bad mobo has much lower lifespan than a mid high end one

Surely there must be something for about £90? Also will this case work good as being small is one of the goals. For hdd, both 7mm and 9mm fine? Sorry for all the questions but wanna get everything working good.
Edit: someone recommended this as they've used it with dolphin http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F10D29K/?tag=ho01f-21 what do you think?

You mentioned the thermal paste, I take I need a heat sink also?
And which Gtx 750 card do you recommend from here? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/
Edit: would it be better to get a modular PSU instead?
