Nah...Not worried about that at all.
I just want to build a Steam box/HTPC to hook to my TV. Some days when I get home I feel like just playing some single player games with a controller while chilling in my recliner but sometimes it's more trouble than what it's worth to hook my PC up to my TV to do so.
It doesn't need to be strong. I am probably just going to use this 660 in it until I move my 7970 to it when I get one of the Hawaii cards coming out. I just need a CPU that won't bottleneck either of those cards.

Even an i3 wouldn't bottleneck the cards -- but if you're playing anything that uses more CPU power than normal, that would be an issue.
Why not just get an 1155 ITX board and look for a sandy or ivy on ebay? Almost identical game performance to the Haswell equivalent, and cheaper.
