your cpu isn't too weak for the emu, it's just too weak for mgs3 cutscenes.
but you should get near playable speeds with some speedhacks when it comes ingame

Your computer is decent for PCSX2, but MGS3 is one of the more demanding games(especially cutscenes). Things you can try:
Config->Emulation and go to speedhacks tab
Enable MTVU
Set the left slider(EE cycle rate hack) to 2.
Try that first. If it's still a bit slow, try putting the other slider to 1 or 2, but that might give you false FPS.
Your best shot would be overclocking your CPU to the 4Ghz range. I have an FX6300 @4.4Ghz and it runs almost all game at full speed. You don't really even need to go that far, as I had good results at 4.1Ghz as well. But watch the heat, the vishera chips make a lot of heat and if you are using the stock cooler you will most likely end up getting throttled if you go too high!

Hmmm there is a big improvement but can any of you explain why does the game so bad even though it says on top of the window that the game is running at 50 fps non stop ?

The speedhacks can cause fake fps. That is, it says full speed in the title bar, but it's not actually full speed.

You can try to set Clamping mode to none. This is faster but reduces the compatibility. So maybe you will see a crash. Then you have to reload using a in-game save-function and set it back to the default value.
You can also play with the VU compiler and use SuperVU instead. It can be used as a speedhack but can also break everything.
Still you can think about overclocking if you have a non-boxed cooler...
Actually some guys now said setting the default fps from 50fps (pal) to 25fps and then using the turbo-mode (200%) you can get a speedboost. Always wanted to try that but didn't have time or just forgot it.

I just never imagined that the Emulators are so CPU heavy and demanding god damn :l
I just cant imagine what computer you would need to have if there was a ps3 emulator
