If you only want to play Wii/GC games on Dolphin, that's probably fine, altough I would recommend getting a higher clocked i3 like the 3245. If you want to play some new games, though, get a better GPU. The 6670 won't cut it for next-gen. |
Ok, but it will be good for Skyrim and the likes, right? cause I've got so many PC games to play I don't think ill be playing any next gen games for awhile lol, and Im somewhat unimployed (im 16, don't have time for job) so the parts im getting now pretty much has my budget maxed out.

It'll play Skyrim and every game released till now, but don't expect to play them at high settings. Next-gen, though, requirements are likely to go up and I don't believe you would be able to play the new games at a reasonable performance. Since your main priority is Dolphin, that PC will work just fine and probably play every game at 60FPS, since the GPU is much less important than the CPU in this case. You could probably get a better GPU by going with a AMD setup and play PC games at higher settings, but, at least for Dolphin, your performance is going to go down if you get an AMD processor, at least compared to that i3.

ok thanks a lot :)
oh and one more thing I was thinking about, I'm probably going to overclock my CPU but will that in a way slowly destroy it? what i mean is will it eventually stop working? I don't know much about overclocking :p and how high do you think I could overclock my processor?

It won't destroy your CPU if you use adequate cooling. The stock cooler should be enough to do a nice overclock on it, so don't worry too much, just keep an eye on the temperatures, if it gets too hot, lower your CPU clock till it reaches an acceptable level. Since your CPU isn't unlocked, you won't be able to overclock it well, so get the highest clocked i3 you can. Since the only way to overclock a locked processor is by upping the base clock of the entire system, maybe you can get another 100Mhz out of it, but that's it.
