There 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.
