Alright, listen up people. I want to build a pc style console. Sort of like a Steam Box. It's case would be either the Coolermaster 120 Elite or the Silverstone SUGO. I would want to stuff a really nice graphics card inside... Maybe a GTX 770? And an Intel i5 3rd/4th gen. Here is what I have come up with so far:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock B85M-ITX Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($86.97 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($66.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($129.98 @ Outlet PC)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card ($419.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced (Black) Mini ITX Tower Case ($39.99 @ Microcenter)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 550W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($80.98 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($16.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.98 @ Outlet PC)

(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

The console would run on windows 7 OS but, on startup it would skip past the login screen and go right into steam big picture mode using a bat. file in the startup folder. How does that sound to everyone? Any changes, add-ins, or comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced,
Colin
