Hi
This is my first post here on the LTT forums so please excuse any mistakes I make.I know a lot of people would tell me to get an itx build/sff , but my situation is quite unique and If like to ask for your help/opinions. Basically I want to buy a new pc in a month or 2 , I'd like for it to game quite well and the NUC seems to get 40 fps in far cry 5 at 1080p maxed out which I think is good enough especially concerning how demanding it is ( I'm not a hardware expert so please correct me if I'm wrong here) , based on some reviews and benchmarks I think that the NUC is powerful enough for my gaming needs (1080p60 high-ultra) especially considering I prefer strategy titles which tax the cpu more . The main pros for me are
1.It has 2x tb3 ports a fast charging port and enough IO to compete with a traditional atx board
2.I can take it with me (quite useful if I wanna play with my friends/go to a lan party)
3.Convenience and a 3 year warranty
4. This is purely subjective but I love the design of it
5.It's really quiet
My biggest issues with it are that its not easily upgradable (still better than a gaming laptop)
It has limited cooling which means that you can't OC it by more than 5-10% without it going NUClear .
Basically I'm not sure if its worth it and that's why I'd like to ask the LTT forums for help.
Thanks
