New Computer - damasta - 04-03-2012
I have a question to ask all of you... I thought of building a computer with these specs and wanted to know what kind of FPS would I be getting with this computer when trying to emulate gamecubegames
antec nine hundred and 2 v3 gaming case
windows 7 pro x86 (Whatever one is the 64-bit computer)
intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost)
geforce gtx 560
2 tb HDD
16GB DDR3 2133

Those are perfect for Dolphin, now go build that PC

Don't forget a P67/Z68 MoBo
Only with this special MoBo types, you can overclock your CPU.
RE: New Computer - Zee530 - 04-03-2012
It should do well
RE: New Computer - Garteal - 04-03-2012
Unless you really need the additional features that the 2600K has, I'd advice you to get the 2500K.
With the money you save, get a good CPU cooler and overclock that thing.
RE: New Computer - DefenderX - 04-03-2012
i7-2600k is only 100 Mhz faster and has Hyper Threading (HT) which is only useful, when you want to decode/encode videos and stuff like this.
yeah, Garteal is right, get an i5-2500k

Well I am planning to play other games with this besides the dolphin emulator... like rage, mineraft, and many MANY others. So This should be perfect for me.
RE: New Computer - DefenderX - 04-04-2012
Games won't benefit from Hyper Threading. Believe me
RE: New Computer - AnyOldName3 - 04-04-2012
They will, but not enough to justify the cost, or even a few pounds/dollars/euros. The extra money would be better spent on a better GPU, both for dolphin and PC games.
RE: New Computer - NaturalViolence - 04-04-2012
No he's right. 99% of pc games don't benefit at all from HT, in fact many actually perform slower.
