steam machine plan

[boggle4321]

me and my best bud wish to build a steam machine. we only need to get a cpu, mobo and ram as we have all other necessary components. i am going to build a custom case for it. what cpu, mini itx mobo and ram do you recommend we get?

 

current components:  550w psu.  amd 6870   1tb sshd 

 

we are not looking for a beast that can run metro at 4k, we just need to be able to play most games at medium /low setting as it will mostly be used as a streaming box. WiFi build into mobo would be nice to have also 

 

thanks.
