This build is made to run Melee in HD and PM in HD. That's it. I was wondering what you guys thought of this build

The reason I'm using such a weak CPU is because I've seen a weaker CPU without SSE4/4+ playing Melee at fullspeed.
Are you sure ? Athlon 5350 is a desktop SOC , it's trash
First gen i5 @ 2.5GHz + GT 540M barely run Melee at fullspeed (2.5xIR of course)
There's a video of a A6-3400M running Melee at what seems to be fullspeed. Let me go get it
Edit:https://youtube.com/watch?v=BrGWTBqnN44
a6 3400m isn't a soc , it's full pledge cpu (llano) with turbo core up to 2.3GHz . Therefore a6 3400m should be a faster cpu , not slower
Btw , turbo core will never work with any application . Most llano owner i know use k10stat to overclock it to 2.3ghz (for example, @Starscream and his a6 3400m)
a6 3400m stock speed is 1.4ghz
Starscream told me that the turbo core feature helped it go up to 1.6 GHz not 2.3GHz . So benchmark has nothing to do here
I'm sure the one who made the video had his cpu overclocked to 2.3GHz
Base on data i gathered from @SS , that oced apu can run melee nearly full speed with some hiccups (1xIR and lags) .
I believe higher IR will require more cpu performance
The Athlon 5350 can overclock as well
Get a G3258 and a Z97 board
Eh I might as well but the thing is, I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible while being able to play Melee and PM in HD. :x The reason I'm building this is for the cheapest build to get into using Dolphin for Smash Bros.

This is the 'new' build. (I know this one will work but I want to try that other one so badly)
