Hi there. My friend wants to build a gaming PC that can run the Dolphin Gamecube emulator, at playable speeds. He doesn't do any heavy gaming. My friend doesn't have a lot of money and is on a tight budget, so lowest prices POSSIBLE for the parts. (e.g. motherboard, cpu, gpu, psu, etc etc). Now, he doesn't have the money for a video card just yet so keep in mind he's looking for either a CPU + APU combo AMD processor, or an Intel CPU with Intel HD graphics. Like I said, he just wants something that can play the Dolphin emulator at playable speeds and needs it to work with on-board video, too. Anyway, please help me and him out with this. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: he found the Intel Core i3-4170 3M Haswell Dual-Core 3.7 GHz online, so would that be okay?
