CPU's and GPU's excluded, got enough issues with those as it is.

Flyordie · Dec 16, 2008, 04:28 PM

Mainboard- Up to AM2 (not AM2+) ASUS, Sapphire 939
Case-In-Win or Antec
Memory- OCZ or Samsung (some Hynix)
Video Card- ASUS or Gigabyte
PSU-Antec/SeaSonic

I read the rules, and I followed them 50%. CPUs are straight forward.... but video chipset manufacturers have diff AIBs, so I included that on those grounds.

johnnyfiive · Dec 16, 2008, 04:37 PM

Motherboards - MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, DFI (in that order)
CPU's - AMD (price ftw.)
HD's - Western Digital and Seagate
Case's - Lian Li and Silverstone are the best IMO. My favorite case however is ABS-Tagan's Black Pearl. LOVE that case.
Opticals - Samsung
Memory - G.Skill (price ftw.)
Video Cards - Sapphire (ATi), XFX or BFG (NVidia).
PSU - Thermaltake
Monitor - None really. Just depends one price.

I'm a bargain/price per performance buyer.

CPUs are straight forward.... but video chipset manufacturers have diff AIBs, so I included that on those grounds.

HD's - Western Digital and Seagate Case's - Lian Li and Silverstone are the best IMO. My favorite case however is ABS-Tagan's Black Pearl. LOVE that case. Opticals - Samsung Memory - G.Skill (price ftw.) Video Cards - Sapphire (ATi), XFX or BFG (NVidia). PSU - Thermaltake Monitor - None really. Just depends one price. I'm a bargain/price per performance buyer. __________________ [o_0] - GO BUCKEYES! ------------------------------------------------------ HEATWARE /MY KEYBOARD / VIDEO OF MY LGA 2011 RIG ------------------------------------------------------ Steam: johnnyfiive ORIGIN: johnny5iive League of Legends: 5iive
