On the flip side, what brands would you recommend for motherboards and GPUs?
- haiku2077 2y agoThere isn't any great manufacturer of motherboards. Gigabyte is mostly adequate, while ASUS and MSI are less preferred for me. For GPUs eVGA was the king, but they exited the GPU market because of Nvidia's requirements for the 4000 series. Again, nothing is particularly standout now. Honestly I pay the premium at Amazon just so I can do hassle free exchanges, just drop the box off at Kohl's.
- washadjeffmad 2y agoASRock / ASRock Rack for motherboards. GPUs depend on the make and model, but mainly, you look at board design, warranty, and RMA turnaround.

- throwaway5959 2y agoThat’s wild because 10 years ago they were known as the cheap brand. Will take a closer look at them, thanks!
- rainclouds 2y agoI’ve been all asrock and asus for a long time. Asrock had been the better value for me for awhile now. Think I started using them for the original threadrippers. Been happy.
- justinclift 2y agoDefinitely ASRock, as they seem to make reliable stuff and have explicit ECC support in their AMD (Ryzen) motherboards.
