Could a Same-Brand PC be Built?

[BLLDoesTech]

Is it possible to build a PC with all the same brand of parts? (Minus Processor)

If not how close could you get?

[ki8aras]

in my first pc i tried to get as many corsair parts as possible

things you can get from corsair:ram,coolers,gpus(in partnership with msi)cases,power supplies,ssds and fans 

so basically you can get everything minus the motherboard and processor

 

[Jurrunio]

aside from CPU, you still need 2 other brands

[Fasauceome]

Gigabyte is getting close. They make storage and ram now, on top of motherboard, graphics card, and I think there's a gigabyte PSU out there. Again, everything but CPU.

 

Edit: quick Google search reveals that gigabyte does in fact make cases and CPU coolers, so you can indeed have an all gigabyte PC minus the CPU.

good luck with that...

Intel is making MB, SSD, WIFI, GPU (internal), CPU but minus memory.

Well no companies are perfect like adult life.

They haven't been in the motherboard space for a while now

[Sauron]

It depends - if you buy a gigabite gtx 2070, does the gpu count as an nvidia part? Do the vram cells count as samsung/hynix parts? What about the nand flash in the ssd?

Storage is for losers...

[SupaKomputa]

EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK (monitor)...

 

Adding to the list Keyboards, headphones and all other small stuff.

If there's a gigabyte monitors then it would be perfect.

THEY MAKE A MONITOR!!!

Well used to

[Jtalk4456]

so the simplest way to see this is the cpu since that gives only 2 choices

amd doesn't make cases or ram, so they're out

intel makes a case, but no ram, they do make ssd's motherboards, chips, stock cooler, etc.

af far as I can tell, if intel made ram and either also made the gpu or you used integrated graphics, you could build an intel only computer. This would be a bad idea though as you'd be paying a premium for having their logo on everything.

Intel has ram made by Patriot

That's not intel memory it's patriot memory, the "official memory sponsor of intel extreme masters"

the brand is still patriot so this doesn't count. If a sticker was all that mattered, i'm just buying a bunch of zen stickers for all my parts

If you allow CPU brand to be 2nd brand, Intel makes SSDs... Or at least brands them.
