Main question is in the title.
I have a 720p projector which means i don't need that much graphics processing power to fire up my projector that gives me a nice picture with a diagonal of 2meters.
Currently i own a 360, but upcoming PC games like Star Citizen just make me want a pc again.
Now Steam has the Big Picture Mode and you can easily see if a game supports my much loved gamepad.
But what hardware would you put into "your" Steambox? I don't see the point in putting Linux on the box like Valve plans to because most games don't run on Linux so my box would get Windows7.
My plan so far:
-AMD FX-8350
-graphics card R9 280X(don't know the producer so far)
-8GB 1866MHz DDR3 RAM(don't know if i should go far 16GB straight)
-240GB SSD(no HDD)
