painfull indeed
thats about correct price for that rig without GPU
CPU is too old ,board is SB710 chipset AMD 780L the worst it can be..very wrong needs to be at least SB750
you might go better by bulding rig yourself
I've seen people have similar builds like his and run dolphin at full speeds. I'm sure he'll be fine.
i had phenom x965 just month ago.
yes it can do fine in some cases.
but it can never run any bit demanding game properly
Zelda,smg,last story ..
and i wasn't referring to CPU
i was talking about Mainboard its a disaster board.
At least take SB750 chipset..

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to remember that when I want
to build a gaming computer instead of a "work horse" (no offense
to horses
)
Update: the last piece of hardware came in today. I have it
completely assembled and I'm working on installing all the
software. Should be completely ready to go in a couple days.

Only what's built into the motherboard. Like I said, I don't plan
on using this to play games, and don't need a special GPU for
what I'm using it for.
The motherboard has Radeon HD 3000 Graphics.
Keep up the good work Lectrode and thanks! :thumbsup: :notworthy:

If I could only find out why people can load F-Zero and I can't.
Looks like a great build. Mario Kart Wii seems to run on this one near 100% speed. Slight stuttering when I play a map for the first time, but it seems to clear up before the intro is done. After that it runs super smooth. Before this, Mario Kart never ran well at all, but now it does. Perhaps because it's been awhile since I downloaded Dolphin and used it.
Does your build play Zelda Skyward Sword well? I'm planning on buying the numchuck+wii mote motion plus with wireless sensor bar. Thus I can play the game with the real controllers. Sure there's the "emulated motion plus' floating around somewhere, But since I already have an adaptor to use a real gamecube controller with Dolphin, it would be pointless to try and play Skyward with a keyboard and mouse. Might as well get a matching pair started.
Only thing I'm worried about are potential glitches.
My specs:
i7 965 running at stock 3.2Ghz (quad core CPU)
6GB of Corsair brand DDR3 ram.
Asus P6T Motherboard. (the original one, not the v2 or the deluxe version)
Nvidia Geforce GT 240 PCI-16X
Seems that Dolphin is getting along with it pretty well. I'm curious to know how well the new zelda game will work. Perhaps I get an emulated motion plus working just to test how the game plays? Might be a good idea before I drop money on the real controllers I need.
I've also noticed the Wii Menu I installed ages ago is now working. An older version of Dolphin I had (probably a 2.0 build) tries to boot the menu but just freezes. Seems to work now though.
