Emulator Pc

I am wanting to build a pc that I can toss all of my emulators on and leave connected to my living room tv. Any ideas or inputs would be great!

- what emulators? Dolphin requires different hardware as compared to VisualBoyAdvance..

- what budget do you have?

- where are you from?

- any more details on the build?

 

Many emulators prefer faster cores over more cores, so you could go for a Pentium anniversary CPU, but I would highly recommend something like an 4690K too (or better, it just depends on your budget).

Something like Dolphin likes a really good GPU too, especially if you want to add antialiasing to your games too

Lol. I dont want to spend too much on it if I don't have to since I already have a great gaming pc. Only thought of nes, gba, n64 and GameCube.

Won't cheap laptop be enough? Used, portable, you know... Like console. There is no sense in paying more for a case than entire pc will be worth..

I need S340. But more Define S'ish
