How can I fix slow Dolphin?

Replacing the CPU and adding the GPU isn't necessarily going to be super expensive. For $60, you could get the X4 760k and a GT 540.

Replacing the CPU is easy, just remove the heatsink, unclip the lever, and (if applicable) turn the screw that locks the CPU into place. Then put the new CPU, put a dab of thermal paste on in in the middle, and add the heatsink and put it back on.

Adding the GPU is as simple as plugging it in to the PCIe slot.

I'm not very experienced so I always know that the last thing I want to do is take apart my PC by myself and risk breaking something and ruining the PC, perhaps rendering it unusable. Doesn't sound likely here but I never like taking chances like that. I tried taking apart a PS3 controller to try and fix it (sounded like any easy fix) but I didn't have the right screwdriver for one screw, and when I put it back together I wasn't able to get it back together properly and it felt very strange to use. And plus I don't know if I'd even have the money to buy a whole new motherboard and I also don't want one that is incompatible with my PC that would mess it up or make it not work right/at all.

See if you can find a used GTX 750 Ti. That should do it, and it won't cost you much. Maybe $70.
