I disagree a bit here. While the i5 will be enough, for Wii in 1080p full speed, you'll need a GOOD gpu. I was using a GTX 470 overclocked and was still not getting full speed in everything.
I currently use an i7/GTX 670 overclocked combo and it gets the job done. That might be overkill though, I'm thinking that a GTX 660 will get the 1080p performance you're looking for. Games like Pandora's Tower and The Last Story seem to really want LOTS of gpu. Where as, Super Mario Bros Wii and Smash Bros take a bit less.
AMD guys, please feel free to chime in here. I haven't used any of the latest AMD cards, so I can't recommend something in their camp. I can tell you that an older Radeon 6850 that I had couldn't do 1080p smoothly in all Wii games.
