Your favorite Brands when it comes to pc building

[typographie]

I have no blanket preferences toward a particular brand because I know that whatever image of them I have is the image their marketing departments want me to have. My perception is more valuable than my money to these companies. If their product is good, then they'll have no problem proving it.

[MEC-777]

Which ever gives me the best performance per dollar at the time of purchase and holds reputable quality.

[STRMfrmXMN]

CPU: Ever since the mighty Pentium G3258, Intel

GPU: AMD's Radeon stuff, specifically the ones from XFX - the Double Dissipation cards. They look Awesome and stay pretty cool too.

[JoaoPRSousa]

CPU: IDK, never owned a Intel on a desktop, though there is a P4 around here

GPU: MSI and Gigabyte

 

IDK nothing about customer service because Im a bit new to desktops

[IdortMasterRace]

Cause I think Both Need eachover to exist or else i think we'll be hating our 1400$ i3's or 2000$ FX 8350s

 

Uh, no, that's not how supply and demand works. Charging $2,000 for a CPU would lead to drastically decreased sales, whether it's the only CPU brand or not.

[BaSkA]

ARM and Intel's on-board/integrated graphics processor.

[-TesseracT-]

Intel and only that.

Nvidia, ASUS and EVGA, gigabyte is cool too

[Horrorfull]

Intel and Nvidia.... AMD Systems run hot... How ever dumb that sounds it matters to me. All my friends computers run very hot. You touch the case... its hot...

Sure it may be a little hotter but I don't think it'll make the case hot. Maybe your friend's PC has a cheap case or something. Mines cold to the tough and I have a 290x.

[SeriouslyMikey]

Nvidia and Intel. 

[Photonic]

CPU: Intel but i use AMD because im poor

 

GPU: Asus and EVGA Nvidia cards

you know what i mean.

 

or a 400$ core 2 quad for 2014

[MeepLikesToBuildPc's]

Mobo: Msi Gigabyte Or Asus

Gpu Msi

Cpu: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL oh the irony im writing this off a laptop with a AMD V160 Sempron

[Trik'Stari]

Haven't used enough to really make a judgement. I like my 4690k over my old A10-5700 fm2 APU, but that's like comparing a gokart to a ferrari, And my EVGA gpu has been troublesome. Might try ASUS for my next card (hopefully a 970, maybe gigabyte)

[Meestagibbon]

CPU: Intel, switched to AMD because of motherboard issue, and a Quad core AMD CPU runs slower than my dual core Hyperthreaded i3, considerably slower at that.

GPU: MSI or Galaxy. (Nvidia) I feel Galaxy is heavily underrated, I had my card from them for years before I recently got my MSI GTX 760

Side note: I'm heavily against ASUS and their GPUs for one reason only, any one I know who has had one (Multiple replacements at this point) has had issues, my friend got his, and it ran hot out of the box, 60 C and above, no load was 40 C+, Down clocking it, cooled it down slightly, but to this day it runs 20+ hotter than me, and he has an aftermarket cooler, larger than mine.

[asim1999]

CPU: always Intel

GPU: Nvidia (for reference cards: zotac, for custom cards: msi or gigabyte)

Motherboards: always Asus

[Dreigo42]

Does whatever is on promo count? Seriously I don't really have an opinion when it comes to brand. So long as it does what I want it to do, built well, and looks nice I don't really care.

[kei7t9]

CPU : Intel

GPU : Nvidia (MSi, Gigabyte, EVGA)

[Lord Gaben]

CPU: AMD for budget, Intel for mid to high end

GPU: EVGA/ASUS

[roberrrtz]

cpu: intel

gpu: nvidia, and then it depends on which brand seems best for that release.

because just raw performance and can produce media easier in addition to being great for gaming.

[-iSynthesis]

Intel and for GPUs AMD.

CPU may change if they bring out something competetive though.

[jslane21]

I've had both and I prefer Intel and Nvidia. They generally stay cooler, are easier to handle "Driver wise" and are more responsive in my opinion.

I have an asus gtx 750ti and  I'm about to order the Evga 970 so i'm glad I caught this. I will investigate further into my next purchase.

[Dardin650]

CPU: intel definatly

GPU: (nvidea)MSI,Asus, and EVGA

[Drama]

lol this is just to stir up some beef. but I will participate anyway. ASUS OR EVGA

[Dabombinable]

Cpu: Intel - been using them since my first 386 computer

GPU: Nvidia - been using them since the geforce 250
