* [http://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/nuc/nuc-comparison.html Intel NUC Comparison]
* NUCs only have like 32gb of internal storage. Probably not enough for dual booting Windows+Linux.
* Versions ending in S have RAM+eMMC installed. Version ending in H do not. Or does it stand for HDD supported? Maybe the new ones are different...

* An i3-6xxx seems to be about %80 of a i5-6xxx
* There isn't a 6th gen i7 other than the $800 skull one... NUC6I7

* $864 seems like an ok choice. 6th i5 + 8gb ram + Samsung 960 250GB Evo + 1tb hdd
* $719 for the i3 with less graphics performance. Could leave the internal hdd.
* $785 i5, no internal hdd
* $640 i3, no internal hdd
* i7 only gets like 30fps in bf4 at 1080p...
