sorry i was in a rush and missed the E5XX part and all i saw was pentium dual core
yeah. Pentium D was a massive failure. Netburst dual core? Heat making monster. Terrible performer. A 8ghz pentium 4/netburst can not beat a conroe at 3ghz.
you'd have to be stupid to get that. The 5870 is cooler, faster and less power consuming. Also, graphic cards don't matter that much for dolphin.
GTX 295 = overkill times 100.
But seriously though, boogerlad is right. A 8600GT is probably enough for Dolphin if you have a good CPU.
Oh, and the GTX 275 is already a bit outdated since ATI already released their DX11 cards and Nvidia will too within the next couple months.
riiiiiiight, but yeah, ATI owned nvidia with their Dx11 cards ... when I read that yesterday I was like Ohh man gotta sell mine!
I'm waiting for prices to drop. My 4850 is more than enough for me right now. I wish I had jumped on an amazing deal at Fry's Electronics this week. There was an AMD Phenom II X4 965BE + Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P bundle for $200. It's 40 minutes away and I had no time this week.
*0* 200! when I got mine years ago, 200 only for motherboard XDD
Too late now. Oh well, my E7200 @ 3.42GHz is still good enough for now. I've gotten it up to 4GHz but I didn't want to keep the temps so high 24/7.
Anyways, back on topic.

You better buy a new power supply if you want a new video card. That generic 450W power supply isn't going to cut it.

That's what happens when you spend a long period of time being ainal.
