Intel NUC8 or Build from scratch?

I've wanted to build a hackintosh for a while, and snazzylabs recent video opened my eyes to the intel NUC.

I think using the NUC as a base could have great benefit- as a first timer having off the shelf hardware could help support, and it's pretty cost effective. HOWEVER, airdrop will never work and there are currently thunderbolt 3 issues.

Curious to your opinions on the matter! Thanks.
