You may want to wait on the Intel NUC Braswell - its already out in the states, so should be imminent in the UK. Code is BOXNUC5CPYH, seems to be pre-order for £106 elsewhere.

Here are the specs: Intel NUC5CYPH

The beefier quadcore is pre-order for £140 elsewhere.

that looks ideal should have everything up and running £250 with windows 7 SSD and RAM

That would be nice but my budget is £150. I only want it to play 1080p MKV's with 5.1 HD Audio

Why not just get an WDLIVE TV you can stream off your pc and use plex to the WD Plays everything you throw at it. i have one even tho i love the fact it plays everything thrown at it. Its just a little slow but as a media player it will play everything without issue
