Well, that is your first mistake.

How is not being an idiot consumer and not basing your purchases off of brand alone but rather by need and scenario a mistake?

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

fyi its some little kid baiting so anyone that bothers to post on here is only giving him attention, which he wants. 

No one cares about his brand preference. At least i don't.

Cooler master's power supplies are both cheap and reliable....just sayin'

Also, you didn't mention if you prefer AMD or Nvidia (which is why most of us read this)

Don't get mad, get even...

Wondering why you made this thread... I mean this in the nicest way possible - we don't care.

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

prebuilts.

 

most prebuilts and laptops i've popped open had toshiba under the hood.

(mostly office oriented computers)

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

 

I'm a canned air connoisseur really. There's only one brand I would trust.

 

perri-air-mel-brooks.jpg

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

Why are you limiting yourself to what brands you use? 

Probably personal experience or something. 

Most of the time it's usually just the performance of the product, not the brand name. You don't buy a CX PSU because it's Corsair......

Just buy some XFX PSU or some Capstone PSU and they work well. 

Brand doesn't matter, it's just the product itself that matters.

Or might even disagree, though shopping objectively for some I guess is difficult. One brand might not always have to design aesthetic you like. (I.E I think the Z170 Deluxe board from Asus looks a little better than the Z170 Krait edition board from MSI but the X99 Krait edition looks a little better than the X99 Deluxe board from Asus.

 

Intel and AMD make good CPUs (sure Intel makes better ones but give credit where credit is due)

Nvidia and AMD make good GPUs, AMDs are priced better and generally have about a 5fps delta between their price equivalent Nvidia options.

If they're good enough for the guru, they're good enough for me dammit.
