Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi everyone, in new to the Dolphin Forums, the thing I want your help is:
In 3 or 4 months I will buy a new computer and I want to know if this specs are good enough:

HP Desktop Computer: 27-N101LA Model
CPU: 4th generation Intel® Core i5-4590T, Quad-Core 2.00 GHz (3.00 GHz Turbo Mode)
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 A360 with 4GB DDR3 dedicated
RAM:8 GB memory PC3-12800 DDR3L-1600 SDRAM 1x8 GB.
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

The games I want to run are:
Mario Party 8
Supers Smash Brothers Melee
Sonic Colors

I normally run this games at 480p

Thanks you for listening and a big thanks if you can help me

Meh system, not so meh that it can't run those games just fine. inb4 the flood of "build it yourself hurrdurr"

It is a pretty weak system for more demanding games smash should be fine though.

If I'm not wrong , that All-in-One PC will cost 1500 USD . For a price like that , you could buy a beefy laptop that is at least 3 times faster than the HP or build a super gaming desktop

Quote:AMD Radeon R7 A360

is really really bad . It's not the desktop R7 360X but a low clock mobile GPU . It's not even as fast as R7 M360 of notebook

I'm pretty sure even the integrated Intel HD 530 (skylake) could beat it

Hi again

I have done more reasearch about gaming computers and im here again with a new one

Model: Alienware X51
CPU:Sixth Generation Core i7-6700 3.4GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 2 GB GDDR5.
RAM: 8 GB DDR4 2133 MHz (4 GB x 2) Dual Channel.

Im not a hardware expert but i think these specs would be fine

THanks again for the help

The CPU is decent, but the GPU is still a mobile GPU… that's not what most people would call a desktop gaming computer. Really, just consider building it yourself. You'll get a better, overclockable CPU, a real powerful desktop GPU and anything else for half the price.

If you insist on buying a pre-built computer, well… that's your choice.

Where did you find an Alienware X51 with an i7-6700 and a 960M GPU? I don't see that combo anywhere.

Also, it would be much cheaper to build your own system.

Well what GPU do you guys recommend to get?

pretty much any nvidia GPU. Doesn't even need to be particularly good or fast.

Will a gtx 960 with 4GB DDR3 be fine?
