Just out of curiosity , why would you need to build a pc while you already have a more powerful laptop ? I'm pretty sure your laptop will run Dolphin faster than the desktop if you force max performance out of the laptop
Though I have two gaming desktops , I have no use for them nowadays .

I've already done everything in this guide and I still get slowdown on 2x IR with many enhancements and 3x IR with some games too. My CPU is 2.7 by default, so I'm wondering if it might be the problem.
Did you read the Throttlestop guide ? Did you check the CPU speed with realtemp ?
Your CPU has turbo boost feature with max speed =3.5GHz . Unless overheating occurs , your CPU should run near max speed with Dolphin automatically
Thottlestop can interfere CPU speed
Looking at your build, I would recommend getting a larger SSD. Those things fill up fast.
Also, If your budget allows it, I would upgrade to a GTX 970, as its a better card for not much more money (if you watch for deals)
The OP is pretty much at his budget... That's just needless inflation.

Spend more money, get a better system! No shit?

My laptop uses a 120GB SSD + 1 TB HDD without a problem. It's not particularly difficult to manage if you only have one OS.
I honestly didn't see the part where they mentioned their budget.
http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/crucial-internal-hard-drive-ct240bx200ssd1 This SSD doubles the storage for an extra $8 CAD. Everyone that I know with a small SSD around 120 GB always has issues with storage space.

Actually, that SSD you linked adds about 20 dollars, which still isn't that much, so I may consider it.

As for a 970, I'm really stressed for budget, mainly because I still need all the peripherals afterwards (Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, etc.) and for other reasons that are hard to explain. And anyway, it's a computer, I can always upgrade it later, right? ;3

That's the joys of PC building, swapping parts out when better things come along.
