A10 6800k + Radeon 7750 worth it?

I have a mini-ITX "console/steambox" project that's currently in the planning phases. My goal is to do everything the next gen consoles will do(10 foot interface, blu ray, streaming, games) but obviously at higher performance with the added benefit of PC exclusives and versatility. My budget is $600, which is only $100 more than the Xbox One, so I feel as though it's a fair price. I have no need for an OS, as I'll be using my existing Windows 8 key. 

I have a general list of parts already researched and tentatively picked out, but I'm really at a quandary when it comes to the CPU/GPU combo. 

During my research, I discovered that the new AMD A10 6800k will do h-xfire with a 7750, which to me sounds like a really good option for a console type PC.  

But I have several questions and concerns about this. 

First of all, from my understanding the new FX2+ boards will be coming out soon, so I'm worried that I'll be building my machine on outdated hardware. Should I be concerned about this?

Second, what kind of performance can I expect from the 6800k + 7750? I've seen videos of people running games at higher settings, but it's only @720p. My bare minimum is 1080p @30fps(rock solid 30), but I have no benchmarks to determine if this combo can achieve that for current and next gen games. 

My third concern is whether or not I'm making a mistake by going with AMD in the first place. In addition to the 6800k I've also made builds around the x4 750k, as it's a cheap quad core processor that matches the PII x4, but with the adde ability of fitting on to a mini-ITX board. Is it possible to make a similarly cost effective build using Intel? Is the 3220 worth looking at, or will all the high end games be bottlenecked by a dual core?

And finally, if I do go Intel, is Haswell worth it? I can shave off nearly $50 off my cpu/mobo costs by going Ivy Bridge. If I go that route, will I be losing any sort of significant performance? And am I in danger of being left behind by Intel and the new games coming out?

Thanks for any tips and advice. 

6800k +7750 is like a 7670...you'll need more than that for 1080P/30fpsMonsieurX

How is the 6800k + 7750 equal to a lower tiered graphics card?

i was thinking the same thing the gpu would run on a lower memory clock but it would have far more cores then a 7670 that only has 384 while the 7750 has 512 alone if i remember right.

i dont know about a a10 6800k but i currently have a 7750 ddr3 ver. paired with a core 2 duo 2 @ 2.2 ghz and 4gb ram on my living room tv... and it plays most games at 1080p 30 fps! on medium low settings! games like ssf4ae and sf x tekken play on max settings with x2 aa @ 60 fps.. i like it and works great (better than console settings)

tc try my build here:

http://ionusx.wordpress.com/2013/06/23/those-wanting-a-cheap-pc-to-build-come-here-with-600/

except use a gtx 650 ti BOOST as the gpu

however you need to switch the case and DVD drive to something that suits your needs

I remember seeing some benchmarks from A10-5800k + 7750 hybrid xfire and being unimpressed by the scaling. It was like 10-15% over a 7750. 

Contrary to what specs say, some people have found a way to do xfire with 7750.

From my experience(A8-3870k+6570 2GB oc'd in Sentey 2420), the problem with hybrid xfire is that some games perform very poorly, or worse than just discrete. Games like Crysis, Battlefield, and Metro get a nice boost over discrete, but I don't think I'd recommend building around Richland or Trinity hybrid xfire to take on consoles. 

You're better off with cheap quad(could be an APU if on sale) and something like a 7790/7850 in a CoolerMaster Elite 120 mini-itx tower. That way your baseline is the same in every title.

I know ionusx has done sub-$600 complete builds that match/beat next-gen HD-twins, and I recently did a sub-$500 complete build including 3 games that beats X1. 

If you're dead set on console form-factor, then wait for more info on Kaveri and whatever GPU is xfires with, or if you're hardcore look into a pci-e riser card/ribbon and a jigsaw with a pack of metal cutting blades. >_>
