So right now I have a full size tower but with all the talk of steam machines I'm thinking about moving everything to a smaller case. I'm really liking the way ibuy power's machine looks, the new steam machine one, so from my understanding I would need a new motherboard but everything else can transfer over? I just want to get some advice on what I need. I currently have a i5 2500k, gtx 770, and 8 gigs of ram.

First of all because you have a GTX 770 which will not fit in all cases... Also keep in mind that due to less space more heat will be generated , so you need to pick proper heat sinks and a proper cabinet with proper air circulation ! .. Plus also depend which type of Motherboard do you have ?? if you have a :
1. Micro ATX motherboard then go for : Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced ( http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Elite-120-Advanced/dp/B00BCXF4HI/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1385533747&sr=8-11&keywords=micro+atx+case )
2.ATX Motherboard, then you cannot go for small cases.. then you will need to get atleast a Mid Size Tower :NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case ( http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Guardian-Tower-Black-921RB-001-BL/dp/B004351H9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385533700&sr=8-1&keywords=CPU+Case )
