Does this look okay? Father/daughter game system build

[Fast_Eddie_72]

I told my daughter we'd build a computer together for her to play Steam games. We might even run the Steam OS. Haven't really decided yet.

I started with a "Steam Machine" recipe I found in an article that looked good. I changed a few things based on reviews. All those recipes seem more concerned about hitting a price target than performance. I don't want to spend a ton, but I want decent stuff that will work. I've worked on computers some, but never built one from scratch, so I was hoping someone could look at this list and make sure it will all work well together.

Guess I also need to know if I'm missing anything I'll need to tie it all together.

Thanks in advance!
