Is it better to stick with amd for cpu and gpu or is hybrid better like intel coy and amd gpu or vise versa? Ive heard competing talk that hybrid is btr but I'm about to build a new box after losing mine in louisiana floods 3 days after I bought my home. Its mostly for gaming but I'm stuck a little on so,e co,polenta because it'll be my first liquid cooled system and ive always had amd stuff now I'm curious if intel gpu is btr. Esp with so little I can find on new vega nova gpu that hasnt cone out yet.

Neither is "better". It doesn't matter.

With an AMD GPU, I doubt it makes much of a difference (Unless you're worried about losing a tiny amount of FPS). For NVidia GPUs, you will find that they were optimized for Intel's ringbus design and will suffer on just about any AMD CPU, but this does not apply as you're interested in an AMD GPU. 

 

Edit: Also the embargo on AMD Vega reviews ends at midnight/tomorrow if I am not mistaken.
