Here's a build that I've been saving up for. Its built with Dolphin in mind, and with a motherboard that will allow for future upgrades to an overclockable CPU if you need more CPU power in the future.

Why would you want that
RE: Strange Performance and Possibly Modded Drivers? - kinkinkijkin - 04-15-2014
Ripping Wii/GC games, booting boot discs for any version of windows before 8, playing old PC games, having a reason to buy physical copies of PC games other than collectibility, among other things.
RE: Strange Performance and Possibly Modded Drivers? - Anti-Ultimate - 04-15-2014
Ripping only works with rare drives, not that one.
RE: Strange Performance and Possibly Modded Drivers? - kinkinkijkin - 04-15-2014
Well, all of my other reasons. But, why would you load a physical copy of a PC game on a Dolphin computer? That's like playing flash games on your work computer. Maybe ignore that reason.

Its to be used by my family, and they have a lot of stuff saved to discs.

If you're on a budget then it's best to save up the money and go for a "real" upgrade. If you build a low-end PC, you will get a low-end performance result and vice-versa. If you cheap out on yourself then it will only hurt your fps speed/performance.
1. CPU wise, an Intel 4670 or 4770 series will do you fine. If you plan to overclock then get the K model i.e, 4670K.
2. GPU wise, get a GTX 760 because that thing is basically faster than my GTX 580 3GB but cost about 3 times less than what I initially paid for my GTX 580.
3. Ram speed would be the last thing you need to be concern about but best to have a minimal of 4GB of RAM.
4. Power supply--A 600 watts with 80+ rating is recommended.
5. Motherboard--depends on what you want to do with your hardware. If you're going to overclock then you will need a OC'ing motherboard. If you're running at stock then any compatible motherboard would do.
6. CPU cooler/heat sink. If running stock, the stock intel cpu heat sink will do if you want to save money. You can youtube for a decent performing CPU heat sink.

No offence but i5 4670 isn't worth getting at all and i7 4770 is overpriced crap , you can get a Xeon 1230v3 which is so much cheaper...
RE: Strange Performance and Possibly Modded Drivers? - tuanming - 04-15-2014
That Xeon cpu lack the ability to do quick sync when it come to videos. That's why it's cheaper. It has its pros and cons. Currently, there's a deal going on for $200 for a non-K model of 4700
Check out Fry's. This would make the Xeno look like crap :p
