Can I cut back on this setup to save a little $$$ and still get my desired results???
Also I have been reading up on the 6 and 8 core processors - some say now that since the new consoles are moving out to market that software will most likely start to be designed more around 6 and 8 cores. Then I read yeah but it will be eight years before we see that be the norm. If this is to be a gaming pc for the next 4 or more years should I go with an 8 core AMD or can the quad intel still pack an equal punch on software designed to utilize the cores??

Your quad core will be fine, software today still have trouble using all cores to the max, depends on software ofc. As for the power supply, it's better to invest a few bucks into it, you don't necessarily have to get the ax 860, here are a few you can look at.

At this point I think I can up to the RAIDMAX RX-850AE 850W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply $85.00 and should be fine for the additional GPU down the road
