I am trying to get my friend into the master race, and he wants a $600 console looking build with os ( if steam os is available, then that will work) he has no preferences, but AMD because he will want mantle. He doesn't need a monitor, but needs an keyboard and mouse if steam os needs it.

Not sure about the parts but you may want to consider an nvidia graphics card due to heat output in a small case. The gtx 750 ti is on sale right now and would be a great choice for a small "console killer" build.

I picked an unnecessarily "expensive" case because I think it looks nice.

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

I like this one, I'd change the case, though. But that's because I don't like the look of it.  :P
