This is my upcoming Steam Machine build. Im looking for a small pc for indie games and occasionally fps. It will be paired with a steam controller. Budget is around 1200, including Monitor. What are ur opinions?

Switch the B150 to a Z170 so you can actually overclock the i5 6600K. Otherwise, looks good.

Id probably get a gtx 1060 as nvidia has much better nvidia drivers,

 

Id probably run ubuntu rather than steam os.
