Firstly, Welcome to the forums godfromdfo. Give this a quick read so you understand why hefemeister and others will tell you first and upfront about the rules..: Tech-Forums Stance on Emulators for any system

Just next time leave the emulator talk out of your post and you should be fine. We are all about helping, but keeping in the guidelines, so let's just say that you want to do medium gaming.

That processor is good, not sure about that card.. depending on what the rest of your system turns out to be it will most likely be suggested to use another. State your budget for the build you want to make and someone will be able to help throw something together for you

Which motherboard should I get?
Depends on your budget and what you want to do with it really

what ram should I get?
dosn't REALLY matter.. depends on if your oc'ing or not

What PSU should I get?
cant really help you here lol. just dont get a cheap cheap one or use one that comes with a case

Do I need to buy wires separately?
depends on what wires your talking about? most come with the PSU

case?
depends on personal preference really.

dvd drive?
youl need one, unless you have one from a previous build you want to use. Those dont really have alot in differences so..

so sorry if that dosnt help much lol but it depends on budget.. and im new to this
