If you think Dolphin is more important than PC games , i5 4670k will be a better choice than anything else
Intel HD 4600 can handle 2x Internal Resolution in most games or even 2.5x IR (1600x1320) in some light-weight games
Dolphin is a CPU demanding application . If you play a GPU demanding game like Mario Kart , you will have GPU bottleneck at 2.5xIR but you can overclock your CPU to make up for it (Well , i'm pretty sure the haswell i5 stock speed is overkill for Mario Kart unless you setup multiplayers with your friends )
A10 6800k iGPU performance should be somewhere between AMD 6670 -> 7750 DDR3 . It's obviously much ....much faster than Intel HD 4600 in PC gaming .
On the other hand , Dolphin : Only single-threaded performance matter . A10 6800k is a factory OC version of A10 5800k . Base on Dolphin Benchmark , a low-mid range like A10 6800k will never come close to high-end i5 4670k in term of CPU performance (You'll get what you pay for)
If you choose i5 4670k , you may want to pair it with Z87 mobo and a decent slim heatsink like this one . Mild OC (4.0GHz+) shouldn't be a problem
