Can it handle it? - sp3taan - 02-25-2011

Hello there. I was wondering if this following computer can handle Dolphin with the games like Zelda: Twilight or Super Mario Galaxy?
Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 3.2Ghz Black Edition
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB Single-Slot
RAM: Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz
I dont really own this computer yet tho, im perhaps going to buy it in the future. Its a simple answer to my question, Yes or No. I don't require a bit explanation but it would be nice with one about why and why.
Or you can gently come with a suggestion of what Graphic card/CPU i rather should get to get the the finest FPS ingame ^^.
My specs on this computer are:
CPU: AMD Phenom 9650 X4 Quad Core 2.3Ghz
GPU: nVidia GeForce GT 120 1GB
RAM: 4gb Samsung something something 400 Mhz
And with this on Twilight Princess i get 15 FPS Average(Also did the Performance guide, didnt help a thing but still Approved ;P)

Theres the problem Tongue Dont have enough money to buy a i7 processor.

But if i just ask you this(as it has already been done) Will the computer run the following dolphin games smoothly? Twilight Princess and SMG

You would plan to OC it (3.8Ghz will run SMG smoothly but still not getting fullspeed )
Dolphin benchmark : sandy bridge > old i3 i5 i7 > Core 2 Quad/ 2 Duo > AMD Phenom = Intel Pentium Dualcore

How much would the Average FPS be without overclocking it and overclocking it afterwards(the AMD Phenom II x2 555)?

Revision : r6000-6500 (rev before fifo change have the best FPS)
Average : 40 FPS no oc and 55 FPS oced

Is this just on SMG? or Twilight included? if yes, zing! happyface :] i dont care if its below 60 fps, as long as it doesnt go below 40 fps i will consider buying the required stuff to enjoy the wii games here on the computer to the maximum!
I hope u meant the average: 40 FPS no oc and 55 fps oced for twilight and not SMG because i just tried out SMG and it runned pretty smoothly, 30-35 fps average on this computer
