Frankly the 260 video card looks light. I'd get to the 290 to keep from crying over it all.
MicroATX case? This is not a gamer's rig.

I have some questions
Is this build more better than a ps4?
Can I use itunes,netflix and hbo go with Steam OS or I have to get windows 8.1?
Can I use Oculus Rift with it? (Note:I will get Oculus Rift in the future not now.)
Can I play battlefield 4,eve valkyrie and mechwarrior online.
Can it work on a 47" 1080p HDtv
If you help me in anyway I will thank you.
