Taking the highest requirements from the list you've provided, I'd go with a NVidia GPU (1060 6GB or even a 980 if you don't mind getting an older, less power efficient model for a cheaper price) and a Ryzen 5 2600/Core i5 8400 depending if you want to go with either team red or blue. You can even go lower with the CPU, however I picked those so you can have a bit of breathing room if you want to upgrade your rig later down the road.

In the end choosing Intel or AMD for the CPU isn't going to impact too much your perfomance so I'd personally choose Ryzen for a few reasons (SMT, higher multithreaded performance, overclockable) but no matter how I dislike NVidia's anti-consumer practices I simply cannot bring myself to recommend an AMD GPU for emulating recent-ish consoles: and this is coming from someone who has an all AMD build.

For RAM, 8 GB will be enough. Still, if you go with Ryzen, try to get some fast DDR4 sticks if you can find them at a reasonable price (don't go overkill, even 2666 MHz is more than enough for what you want to do!)

(Cemu for example is infamous to be poorly optimized on Radeon cards and while it may change when the Vulkan backend gets released, if you were to run it on one now you'd be very disappointed by the performance)

DDR4 sticks are like 120£ on amazon
i aint paying dat

You should be good to go with that card coupled with a decent cpu

If you meant a 1050Ti 4GB then it might be able to do the job but it would be too close for comfort imho.
On the other hand if you actually meant a 1060 4GB, be careful with that variant. It was only released in China mainly for internet cafes and has never seen a western release. Sometimes legit ones pop up on eBay/Amazon but they're sort of rare so the pricing ends up very close (if not higher) than the 6GB variant anyways, while if the price is too good to be true then it probably isn't.

DDR4 prices suck, I'll give you that. Still, you can kinda compensate for it if you go with Ryzen thanks to its lower price. I wouldn't upgrade if I had a 1/2 generations old CPU tho.

I got a evga 1050 ti works quite well

yeah i ment 1050 ti x gaming 4gb will that be a problem for botw? and i found a kingston 2666mhz 8gb ddr4 stick for just $47.99

I recommend a 1060 minimum for 1080p gaming based on personal experience. But instead, a 1070 or 1070 Ti used would be a better choice IMO for future proofing.
Edit: Assuming you are going to do other gaming besides emulation, that is.

TheMrIron2 · Feb 20, 2019

You're only emulating these games, so from my experience my GTX 960 has been able to pull 1800p (not 1080p, 1800p) at almost full speed on Cemu with my i5-4690. Dolphin runs similarly well above 1080p. PCSX2 is a bit more mixed but again, generally shouldn't need much for 1080p full speed. You'd probably even get away with a GTX 750 Ti for all of these if you were hard pressed. Just make sure you get a good CPU because that's what emulation is tied to in almost every imaginable circumstance.

Good news! To enter an online high school I must have a 5.0ghz cpu so my parents will buy me an i9 9900k

I hope I'm not too late, but please don't do that. There is no reason for an online school to require such a beefy CPU. Invest in a cheaper alternative, like the 2700X.

My parents would prefer to pay that $525 instead of paying thousands of dollars monthly anyway, plus it is great for gaming and the box is highly collectible and nice

But there's no need to pay that much in the first place. The 2700X performs great and is cheaper, a 9900K is near useless for your case.

what do you mean with useless

Well the 9900K is just a waste of cash with a graphics card such as the 1060, so no reason to pay extra.

Do you mean that I could get a cheaper one and have the same performance? In that case I would buy an Intel i5 8400 BUT if the school requirements state that i need a processor with 5.0ghz is for some reason. And no matter what’s on anybody’s power the world won’t make me buy AMD merchandise

It's rubbish talk, ignore it. An online school does not require a 5GHz CPU.

Bro, why the hate towards AMD? They make genuinely great CPUs.

What school are you going to that requires that high a clock speed?

Deleted User · Feb 21, 2019

Anyways here are my final specs:
CPU: Intel Core i9 9900K (FC) if my parents discover it.
I will pay the rest of the pc including the case (cool master atx mid tower) which includes 2 200mm fans with a beautiful purple led color, maybe the motherboard.
The power supply is a cool master MWE 750W modular (great)
I will also buy a cool master master liquid with rainbow and controller without need for asus aura sync or stuff like that
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
RAM: 8GB Kingston DDR4 2666MHz
SSD: Samsung Evo 860 500GB for the storage since SSD is better than HDD
And finally motherboard: gigabyte atx with 3 pci express card slots for gpu, support for 9th gen and 4 ram slots

I’ve had bad experiences with AMD. It once made me fail completely an exam just because the pc got stuck and the test clock timed out

No. This build is super unbalanced. Get a 2700X/2600, 580/1060, and 16GB of DDR4-2667+ RAM. Much better than the build you're planning to have.

You can't hate modern hardware due to old problems. AMD have greatly improved, and Ryzen is a much better choice for value. Ryzen CPUs have never failed on me.

Fine since you won’t leave me in peace: I will wait for that 5.0ghz ryzen 3000 that will come out soon (if it comes before September great but if not I will keep the i9 9900k) hoping it is cheaper and is good quality, I will add 4gb more of ram so I have 12GB and the graphics will stay like that

Again, you don't need 5GHz. Although I do recommend waiting, you don't have to wait for Zen 2 (It will come around june-july). The RX 570 performs much better than the 1050 Ti in every task and costs the same. And finally, don't go 12GB as 12GB can not run in dual channel mode, just go with 16GB.
