Should maybe throw in a middle option.

 

For bits like Sapphire/XFX, I can choose a side as its the same product different package.

AMD/Intel and AMD/Nvidia I have no preference what so ever, who ever has the best price/performance at the time is what I'll go with.

I like SeaGate and WD. I buy whichever is cheapest at the time :D. And totally - freebie parts FTW. I give parts and I'd be more than happy to build a machine with free parts :)  

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

WD just because I like the WD Blue 3.5 7200 1 TB and WD Black 3.5 7200 1 TB drives but after 2 TBs they ask too much money in my opinion. Usually go with Seagate then.

Sapphire, don't care for XFX's cooler design.

Intel, the FX 8150 and A8 6600k were both meh for the price and I just ended up upgrading them sooner.

Don't care for GPU, I switch to whoever has the better product. Not impressed with Maxwell so I'm leaning towards AMD next cycle.

Micro ATX because I prefer larger systems.

Neither. In most hobbies old items are collectible, in computers it just means you have a device that is slower and capable of less. 

Liquid, like the look of rads.

Car.

Seagate or WD? Seagate, only because I have had a couple of their drives. Nothing against WD, only had one of their drives.


 


XFX or Sapphire? I picked neither. Never owned anything they made.


 


AMD or Intel? Intel, only had intel chips. Intel hasn't done anything wrong in my mind to make me switch over to AMD. I will continue to recommend Intel chips for my future clients.


 


AMD or NVIDIA? Green team. Only ever had their cards. Again, same with the question above. All the computer I've built in the past couple years have only had nVidia cards in them.


 


Mini ITX or Micro ATX? I have a mATX, however I prefer mITX. I like the look of small cases. Actually building a mITX system pretty soon. 


 


Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad? I picked quad, cuz 4 is better than 2.


 


Reference/Other? I prefer air over liquid. Less noise and same cooling potential. Read my reasoning below.


 


NH-D14/H100i? I own both. I had a h100i installed for over a year. I went back to the Noctua and the noise difference was amazing. I forgot how quiet my system was with it. I am actually getting better idle temps with the NH-D14, but the load temps are roughly 2-3C better with the h100i.


 


Cars Or train? Car. I drive everyday to and from work. It's all I know. I however prefer train/metro when I am trying to go into the city.


CPU i5 3570k MOBO Asus Maximus Gene V GPU Asus DCUII 670 CASE Corsair 350D (windowless) SSD Crucial M550 256GB msata CPU COOLER Noctua NH-D14 RAM Corsair XMS3 8GB 1600mhz PSU Corsair AX750 Display Asus PB287Q 4K (my review on it http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/380533-journey-into-4k-goodness-asus-pb287q-review/) & Asus VH236H 1080P
