Purchasing dilemma

[Grox2019]

Hey lads for the past two years I have been using a laptop with a 6700HQ and a gtx 970m with 16 gigs of ram (I wanted a skull canyon back then but my parents told me to get a laptpp) , it was good enough for most games , but it's close to becoming obsolete , so I need a new machine buildapc discord recommended me a build with an 8400 and a gtx 1060 , however I really like the Hades Canyon NUC with vega m GH , since it can play most games at 1080p60 high/ultra without breaking a sweat whilst being significantly smaller and looking way cooler than a traditional tower , would the Hades Canyon be a good buy for 1080p60?
Also has the new vega m driver improved perfomance?

Well it depends what you want to play, if i am not wrong the graphics is about a 1050ti performance or something along those lines.

Hades Canyon NUC running GTA 5, take a look:

Extrapolate from that what you will.

Yea synthethics place it firmly in the 1060 max q territory , but actual games place it closer to a 1050 ti , however there's been a major driver update and that may affect things , I just really like NUCs and minipcs in general (sweet for vesa mounting).

Honestly getting a full sized pc has it's pros like upgradability
