The game would not scale that high so it would be pointless.

There is only so much refinement a game can take if it has been made at a certain lower resolution.

He's talking about Dolphin ie Gamecube or Wii games. Not PC

Too much folding

In a nutshell. What videocard do you have now? A 30" 2560 x 1600 requires dual dvi btw. And you need ANYDVD to crack the HDCP on the second in put ussually

 

[Phil]

The monitor does not matter, your videocard/cpu does. Often emulators require more cpu muscle then pc games, which use gpu muscle

SLI would be wasted, so a GTX260 would be more then enough.
Do you really need an i7? The performance hop over the Core 2 series is negligible, especially when you can clock the **** out of the 45nm chips.
