I'm building a new computer around PCSX2 (It's what's going to be the most demanding). I'm looking to play Final Fantasy XII, Dragon Quest VIII, and Rogue Galaxy on my 47" HDTV at 1080p at a full 60fps if possible. What hardware (Motherboard, INTEL CPU, RAM) is recommended? Already have an Nvidia 570 (That should be enough, right?). Don't want to do any overclocking either. What about a small SSD to put Windows 7 Ultimate, PCSX2, and the games themselves on?
Thanks

The top Core i5 and 4 GB of RAM should be fine. Regarding the GPU, I'm using a 7870 and I can play God of War at full speed at 4x resolution.
Normal HDD is fine but I think SSD would help as well.

I play DQ 8 and I cant get above 3x IR with my 6970 (no AA). I am not verse enough to recommend a card, but thought I would provide a frame of reference.
Keep in mind when I say I cant get 4x, that means the entire game. If I play 4x, there are several spots in the game that are not full speed. You mentioned you wanted full speed at all times.
