Are these specs enough to emulate on decent speed (and quality, if possible) ?

What do you think guys, will I be able to use emulators such as PCSX2 and dolphin at decent speed (+ decent graphics) on these specs http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MWPfVn
I'm keeping it in budget, my main purpose is emulation and then playing games on nice speed and higher settings, I don't mind playing on medium-low settings eithet. Your views and advices are very much appreciated

Slightly weaker CPU(really small difference) but a stronger GPU,a better quality PSU and a cheaper,but still an amazing case.
You won't be able to overclock,as the 4460 isn't unlocked and the mobo isn't made for that.
All the best. ;)

THANKS A LOT!!! I really appreciate the advice, I'll research more into that when I get back to PC.
Though how do you think emulation will be on these specs?
PS : I'll reply after a couple of hours now. thanks again.

With these specs,you will be able to play pretty much every game at medium-high,if not at ultra.
I will go to sleep now,as I need to go to school tommorow.So don't expect a new answer till 1:20 PM (Central European Time,+1).
Make sure to select the best answer. :)

There isn't graphics settings in emulators besides bugfixing and enhancements. You'll be able to play smoothly with 2-4x native res. Just wondering but what games are you going to play? I recently got back into pcsx2 a couple weeks ago playing shadow of the colossus.
