SubZero Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Okay guys. just to be sure that i am ordering the correct stuff i want to see what the PC guru's say. I want to emulate up to Wii-U and 3DS and this is what i got so far keep in mind i only have 600 to spend Processor ?????? i did some homework and found out Intel is more stable for emulation Ram 8GB GPU Nvidia GT1050TI-OC-4GB 120 GB SSD 2TB SATA PSU 550 watts I dont want to spend money on the wrong parts that wont even benefit the EMU so come on guys.......help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlopjerO Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Basically what you do with emulation is you mimic a systems hardware using different hardware. it's difficult to give specific reasons why one processor is better then the other, it comes down to the programmer of the emulator that you're using. however, most sources state that you're best off using an Intel due to the overall better performance per core when compared to an AMD. I'm paraphrasing here. you can read a bit more here you might want to throw a bit of extra cash at the ram and take it up to 16GB, GTX 1050 is a decent good card. 2000 TB is a typo, I doubt you'll be hosting hyperbase's backend on your cab I'm currently looking into a system upgrade myself, trying to rake in some cash here and there, anyone interested in Milton's Paradise Lost, it's a leather bound edition from 1905, good condition 400 euro's it contains illustrations by Gustav Doré Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubZero Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks buddy. yeah it's hard to choose right. especially on the processor. io am also looking on Marktplaats for a complete new build. but better do my research first and what better place then here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternate has some nice upgrade kits(motherboard,cpu and ram), that I keep coming back too. it all depends on what you're willing to spend ofcourse.

SubZero Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have up to 600 to spend for the pc, i'll have a look at alternate see what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THK Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 You're better off looking on Tweakers Vraag & Aanbod for 2nd hand hardware. The ppl there tend to be more reliable/trustworthy and know what hardware is worth and tend to ask very reasonable prices. It's where I bought my new & sealed 1TB SSD, just bought a Corsair K90 mechanical keyboard for just €45 incl. shipping. Bought my 2nd GPU there, my headphone amplifier/DAC, etc. It's also the best place for us to look for new hardware in the Price Watch section (easy to select exactly what (range of) specifications you want, numerous webshops to select from) and compare hardware.

THK Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 i5 4460 & i5 4670K don't differ that much, though with a decent cooler you might as well go for the latter and overclock it. Always nice to have a bit bigger SSD to run the non-vid media of off. 1TB HDD space is on the small side. Really depends on what the difference in starting budget is and what you have to buy. I have no idea what GPUs are usable for emulation and what platforms, but I guess: i5 4670K / i5 4660 (stay away from stock coolers if possible) 16 GB RAM MB with at least one x16 PCI-e slot. Preferably PCI-e 3.0 250GB SSD / 120GB SSD (120 is the absolute minimum / cheaper to add HDD space later down the line in general than buying a bigger SSD) 2-4 TB HDD space at least (no 3TB drives! / no Green drives! / 7200rpm / really depends on what systems you want, but space is easily added) go to a PSU calculation site and see with all the parts need if 400 Watt is enough or if you should go for a 550 one. (preferably Gold rating, at least Bronze / don't go to near to the max capacity of the PSU for lifespan and efficiency) Z87/Z97 is an overclock platform, H87 (as well as B ) is not. memory clock really isn't that important. If you buy 2nd hand, replace the cooling paste on the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THK Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 as for my 2 suggestions, really depends on the mother board. The listed prices are not too far of what you'd about pay for just the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a good deal. Here's a decent power calculation with an overclock, so you should be just about fine. Corsair makes decent PSU's too.
