    As far as I know (someone correct me if I’m wrong), but the HD 6570 is more powerful than the AMD A8-6500K.  I believe they both have the same level of hardware decompression but the 6570 has:

    480 Stream Processing Units
    24 Texture Units
    8 Color ROP Units

    while the AMD A8-6500K has:

    128 Stream processors   
    8 Texture units
    4 Color ROPs

    Unless there was some new hardware decode feature added to 7000 series that I didn’t notice (always possible- I’m a bit out of the game keeping a tight eye on the latest and greatest stuff), you’d be better off sticking with your dedicate card.  Unless you want to shave a few extra watts off the power usage or use a case that won’t hold the card.
