I5 4460 good for PSX2, Dolphin emulation?

Hey all just wondering if any of you have had any experiences with running PSX2 or Dolphin with a similar CPU to this (this is also paired with a radeon r9 270).
At the moment i'm spending $50 more on my build so I can emulate but if this combo doesn't go well i'll just go with the cheaper options.
The games i'm looking to play are:

Shadow Of The Colossus
Okami 
Burnout 3: Takedown

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Super Paper Mario
Monster Hunter Tri
Wario Ware Smooth Moves
Rabbids Gone Home
Madworld

Any help is appreciated thankyou :D

Playing around 10 year old games on good hardware i think you would be fine

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

2600K /w HT off (2500K+100mhz) + 5850 of mine, works perfectly.

Works fine with PSX2 (Plays GT4 native)

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

TBH - This was years ago and I can't answer your Q.

I was just stating that the i5 4460 that you have is fine if my older slower CPU's were doing it fine.

i'd run dolphin on my old e6300 and it would do over 30fps at that odd 4:3 monitor i had in a good portion of  games i tried... 1280x1024? it will run the emulator and do some juggling to entertain you in the background too.

 

i did it with a 9600 GT too so... my laptop with 4700mq and 860 gtx has no issues what so every with the emulators... you can probably do it with dual monitors if you please. 

 

dunno about psx2, but i doubt it'll be harder than dolphin for wii games?

I use a Sandybridge i5, a 6870 1GB and run emulators. Getting an i5 is the safest solution to run any current emulator.
