Full Version: Will my new PC be good enough?

I'm building my own computer, and I wanted to know if it'll be good enough to run Dolphin well.
Specs:

Intel Core i5-6500 3.2 Ghz quad-core Skylake

ASRock B150M-HDV motherboard

8GB DDR4 RAM

I know my processor is more than capable of running Dolphin, but do I need a graphics card? I can run Dolphin on my laptop, which has no graphics card, but it's super slow, which is why I'm asking. Any help would be appreciated.
We recommend a dedicated GPU because Intel drivers have bugs that Dolphin doesn't like
So it's possible to run it without one, but I should probably buy a GPU? Okay then. Thanks.
Well, yes, but a very low end cheap nvidia GPU will be infinitely better and less buggy than the Intel GPU.
Alright, thanks for the help. I'm planning on getting the Oculus Rift when it releases, so I'll be getting a great GPU for that.
yeah, intel gpus have issues in Kirby's return to dreamland and the twin snakes, i can personally attest for that
