You're the kind of person all the suits love, I'm sure, especially if you're just gonna casually drop all your brand loyalties here.

 

Try to open up a little bit, you might find something else you like.

Cooler? Networking? Peripherals? Thermal compound? Monitors? Cables? Canned air? etc...

 

While you're being so restrictive of yourself, you might as well cover the entire spectrum

4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)

I give almost every brand a chance until they burn me. Then it takes a lot of good reviews to get me back. 

See I'm a 21st century digital boy,
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys.

CPU: Intel

GPU: ASUS, Gigabyte or EVGA

Motherboard: ASUS or Gigabyte

RAM: Kingston or G.Skill

SSD: Samsung or Crucial

HDD: WD or Seagate

Power Supply: Corsair

Case: Corsair or Silverstone

Card Reader: AFT

CD/DVD Drive: ASUS or Samsung

 

With your logic for let's say the case being Corsair, why no Corsair ram too? Etc...

Open your eyes and break your chains. Console peasantry is just a state of mind.

Intel for now,

GPU Homestly.. Asus, MSI, EVGA, or Zotac all work for me.

Ram doesn't really matter but .kingston and G.skill to support companies I like.

HDD- WD for life.

SSD I agree

Power ?supply. I strongly disagree. STORNGLY. Corsair PSUs are Eather very bad or very overpriced. Can usually get something better or same quality from SeaSonic or EVGA for the same price if not a lot cheaper.

Case- Phanteks And NZXT are pretty much my favorite cases ever made.

Actually, only 66.6%:

List of current hard disk drive manufacturers:

Seagate Technology, including its subsidiary brands Maxtor and Samsung

Toshiba

Western Digital, including its subsidiary brand HGST

It was a rough estimate. I can assure you Toshiba does not own a 33.3% market share.

Worldwide revenues for disk storage were $32 billion in 2013, down about 3% from 2012.[4] This corresponds to shipments of 552 million units in 2013, compared to 578 million in 2012, and 622 million in 2011.[4] The estimated 2013 market shares are about 40–45% each for Seagate and Western Digital and 13–16% for Toshiba.

Didn't someone once say that SeaSonics are made by corsair? Plus, they are over-priced.

SeaSonic? Made by corsair? Corsair doesn't make any of there PSUs lol. SeaSonic makes there OWN PSUs. Corsair uses mainly CWT which arent very good and select SeaSonic.

 

Also Seasonic overpriced? Look at the prices of Corsair Power supplies you dont get what you pay for when you could easily go buy a even more reliable psu from EVGA XFFX Seasonic or SuperFlower and even delta. Delta makes some of the highest quality power supplies along with superflower.

Brands I will use:

I don't have brand preference, that's just stupid. I look at the specific component, not at the brand alone.

It doesn't matter if my GPU has Nvidia or AMD written on it, my case has Antec or Cooler Master on it or if my keyboard says Logitech or Razer.

I look at the specific component and see if it is good

Try the H105 this time. They seem to be more reliable.

You're an idiot. Seasonic makes a TON of antec PSUs. Delta makes a TON of Antec's psus...

 

 

Do you know anything about power supplies? Companies such as Antec, EVGA, AND CORSAIR all use rebrands from the companies Seasonic, CWT, Superfloer, HEC, and Delta. There are a few more but the most reliable ones are SeaSonic, superflower, and Delta.

What?

No he is right.

Antec, corsair, evga, and others don't make psus

They rebrand things from delta, enhance, cwt, superflower, seasonic, and others

Seasonic doesn't make everything but every PSU brand you've named Seasonic makes PSUs for them. Like Antec, They've also got psus made by Delta and select other brands.

 

You need to do some more research.
