This is just one possible configuration I think is Bang for buck but the price can be reduced by many ways as per your requirements. You can go 16GB Ram or even 8GB ram, Ryzen 3 Pro 3200GE, 256GB SSD. However, the price drop is very insignicant apart from the CPU and I would recommend to go with at least with 16GB of Ram and 256GB SSD.

This Model is coming with 32GB DDR4 Memory, 512GB PCIe SSD and OS whereas in NUC, you have to source everything.
This Tiny Desktop is fully upgradable and using Desktop components. Ryzen 5 3400GE is 35W part of actual 3400G and using standard AM4 socket. You can upgrade the CPU in the future with new upcoming Renoir (Ryzen 4000 series Desktop APU) APU.
The VEGA 11 Graphics is way better than any NUC Graphics available at this price.
This even has a PCIe x16 Slot and you can actually use a PCIe Expander cable to bring it out of the Chassis and add a dedicated graphics card with external 6 Pin/8 Pin Power Supply directly to the card. I have the Intel version and it works perfectly fine with my GTX 1660.
With all these advantages, this is still smaller than the NUC.

[*] With all these advantages, this is still smaller than the NUC.For the footprint of the form factor, the upgradable CPU socket, and the specs, this feels like a really great deal @ ~$405.
These are great desktop PC's. Small too which is basically an office standard now.

[*] With all these advantages, this is still smaller than the NUC.Yes it's better than a similarly priced NUC, but don't count on the Renoir upgrade actually working. No guarantee that Lenovo will release the AGESA/BIOS updates necessary to make it work, and who knows if we'll even get a 35W Renoir APU you can buy at retail.
