AMD doesn't have a CPU with the computing power of a 3570K, with or without onboard video. The closest you are going to get is a FX-8350, and you will need a motherboard with onboard video, which is not available in higher end boards. The APU's have great video, but nowhere near the computing power of a 3570K.

Bottom line, no cost savings here. AMD is concentrating on lower end systems now.
