Doubts about my new computer...

Initially sorry about my english...

Hello to everyone.
I am thinking of upgrading my computer to:

-Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz processor or Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz
-Memory 4GB (2x2gb) DDR2 800MHz KINGSTON
-Videocard Geforce 9600GT 512MB or 8800 GT 512 MB
-Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 rev. 2.0

I now wish to know whether these settings I can make the most of emulator Dolphin (Play games at full speed)?

(Ps: I accept another sugestions about the hardware.)

Since thanks for help

Oh yes you'll get great performance with those specs. Nothing to worry about. If you overclock you'll do even better. There isn't really a better CPU for Dolphin than that.

Get 8800 GT or something better, that all i have for an advice

Unless you wanna go pass the 4Ghz barrier then you need better hardwares (motherboard, ram, and maybe PSU) And this is a dolphin thread/section not hardware btw.

You could probably get the same performance with a 965 board, but these are great overclockers. He should be able to push 4ghz. Better ram might be a consideration yes.

you have a nice specs, dolphin will run very fast with that pc, if you can do it, try to overclocking it to have more performance
