Here are all the parts and components I would recommend if doing this from scratch.

- NUC with Intel i5 CPU

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SD9IS1S

(See the related products for the less powerful i3 version or the slim version which only uses the mSATA drive. BE AWARE if you get the mSATA only slim version, you will HAVE to install a wireless adapter as it doesn't come with one.)

- Samsung 850 EVO SSD (there are lots of different choices for an SSD but I think that the Samsung Evo's are the best for the money. The Kingston HyperX and Sandisk Ultra II are also great choices)

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U

And/Or you can install this mSATA drive as well (It installs just like the ram but uses a small screw to hold it down instead of clips like the RAM. Again, there is only one place this can go so it's hard to screw up.

- 8 Gigs of Crucial RAM (Single stick gives you option to upgrade to more later if needed)

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT102464BF160B/dp/B006YG8X9Y

Again, there is faster ram out there like the 1.35v (the NUC will NOT boot with 1.5v ram) HyperX 1866 DDR.

- Mini HDMI adapter

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PW1XRS

- HDMI cable

http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-ULTRA-Series-HDMI-Cable/dp/B0019HL8Q8

- Logitech HTPC Keyboard

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Keyboard-Multi-Touch-Touchpad/dp/B005DKZTMG

- Sandisk Extreme USB Thumb drive

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Transfer-SDCZ80-032G-GAM46-Version/dp/B00KT7DXIU

- 3M Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrap (If you wanna get fancy)

http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotchprint-Carbon-Fiber-Vinyl/dp/B0058DIDTY
- Download the Rufus utility to create a bootable USB drive (free and easy)

https://rufus.akeo.ie/

- Guide to using Rufus (it's really only about 3 clicks)

http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1881143/create-bootable-usb-drive.html

- Download the windows 10 iso file (file that has all the windows install info) used to build the bootable drive with this download tool from Microsoft (You can try to create the bootable usb drive using that tool but I haven't had much luck with it in the past. Rufus always works)

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

- If you want a better explanation of what an ISO file exactly is, check the wiki page here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image
- If you are installing windows 8 first, use this guide to add a file to the USB drive to skip the otherwise mandatory CD key entry.

Go to www.Ninite.com to select all the software you want to be automated and installed.
- Download the NUC driver's here

- Download the NUC Bios update here. *Select either the 32 bit or the 64 bit exe depending on which version of windows you're using*
