One reason as to my suspicion you were just reading my specs, and since it wasn't a 2k 400 dollar I7 build you say I cant run it... was you never asked my plugin settings, you immediately just said it was crap.

Just to get an idea. Some those CPUs above it there already struggle with some emulated games. And yes, the game dictates the needed processing power, not PCSX2 itself.
Some advices to try and help getting a bit more performance were already given in this thread... like putting Windows in a performance Power plan and making sure the ATI GPU is being used instead the Intel's.
Just I fear it will not be enough to run most games at full speed even with speed hacks. You would be surprised how just looking at the specs may help knowing if the machine will do fine or not.
As said before, the games are what dictate the demand and those you pointed aren't on the easier side.

Indeed, that machine is not up to run most games emulated on PCSX2 but it may be able to run many PC games and some less demanding emulators. So I would not say it is crappy, just lacks the extra muscle PCSX2 needs.

i3 not worth it since it is like your cpu just with hyperthreads...an i5, any of them, would be better.

Not knowing why you prefer Amazon only, I can say that $150 is not enough for SB/IB i5. So your next best thing is a high frequency i3.

1. I own stock in the company
A. They are awesome, prices 99% of the time are lower than newegg.
a. Because there is no questions asked shipping
b. Shipping back is free
c. No restocking free
B. The shipping is no questions asked, as in (Not that I WOULD, this is abuse of an amazing company)
I can order software, use the software, SEND IT BACK OPENED, claiming it doesn't work, whether it does or not, free shipping back, 100% refund.
Will an I3 cut it?
Software on newegg, once its opened no refunds, no ifs ands buts about it.
Shipping THEY MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT, BIGGEST BS IVE EVER HEARD.
Restocking fee. WTF Why would you RESTOCK A DEFECTIVE ITEM. F***ING BS
Yes, that escalated quickly.
It ticks me off when there are crappy companies, who just because they were amazing for some years, (some years ago), that they can change their crap, and take advantage of their customers.
