One of my main goals in this next build is to push the "Dolphin" GC/wii Emulator as hard as possible. Dolphin is extremely CPU dependent and really doesn't need nearly as much GPU power in comparison. An Ivybridge pushed to 4.2-4.5 is where you need to be for the best emulation experience.
Watch this video, Note his specs and OC in the description, also keep in mind that, that game was built for a 480 system with no AA or any other graphical enhancements.:
