I'm looking to build a pc a that can run emulators and older titles

[Originalconman]

I want to run pcsx2 and dolphin at full 60 fps and also would like to run older titles such as world at War. I have a ps4 to run newer games but that would be a plus if I could run those too. I'm stuck between which processor to buy, a 7th gen pentium, i3 7100 or should I just go ahead and get a i5 7500. I'm trying to stick to a 400-550 budget so I don't know if I should buy a 4gb rx 480 for 180$ and i5 7500 because that takes up alot of my budget. Any feedback is appreciated.

wait a few weeks and see what AMD has to offer with ryzen. that's your best bet. why buy an i5 for almost 200 bucks now when you might be able to get a 4-core ryzen equivalent for $150 or less?

edit - it may be more than a few weeks for the quad core ryzen chips to release but point still stands...it's worth waiting to see what's going to happen
