Building gaming PC- will I be able to run Dolphin well? - FinalSmash - 12-15-2015
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/FinalSmash/saved/hXMkcf Here's my partlist. I'm fairly certain I'll be able to run Dolphin at high settings, but I wanted to know what you guys think. The main games I want to play are Xenoblade Chronicles and F-ZERO GX.

Yes, an i5 6500 and a R9 380 should be pretty powerful and should handle Dolphin easily. However, I recommend getting an unlocked (K series) CPU (as well as a motherboard which can overclock) if it's not too much more expensive -- it will certainly be useful if you ever get CPU bound and need some speedup.
