Its weird the unaware affiliations we create that cloud our judgement of power and performance, I got an email tonight that got me thinking along this strange path from XFX. I have always liked XFX graphics hardware it always comes in groovy boxes well kitted with accessories strange I know but its one of those things the last 3 graphics cards I have owned have been XFX. While on graphics cards consider the chip manufacturers ATI NVIDIA and Intel(Not really a player in my opinion) I always buy NVIDIA the drivers are nicer the additional software is nicer and I like the development tools they give.

Moving onto motherboard, motherboards I tend to always go with Gigabyte or Asus, both providing good build quality and a variety of good quality accessories ok, when it comes to motherboards its more important to consider the accessories as this can pad up the price on a board but still the affiliates I develop tend to rule my judgements on purchases.

Long ago there were big issues with AMD and over heating now im not entirely sure if this problem has been overcome but I am pretty sure that the issue is long in the past yet I still favour Intel having bought only Intel chips for years.

Maybe next pc its worth taking a gamble and trying something new, does everyone have these weird obsessions?
