Best GPU/Motherboard Brand?

[Feltmarskal]

I heard EVGA should be number 1, but what about Zotac? I see their name popping up all over. MSI... I think i'll pick something else for a change. Edited December 19, 2010 by Feltmarskal

The best one is the one that gives you the most bang for the buck.

For MOBOs, EVGA is god tier. MSI, ASUS, & Gigabyte follow.

As far as GPUs go, MSI usually has the best cooling, EVGA, Gigabyte, & ASUS are acceptable, and XFX & Sapphire are meh.

I can buy a MSI GPU and run it on a EVGA motherboard, just to be 100% sure? :) (Stupid noob question) :P

Of course, but I wouldn't recommended an EVGA motherboard. They're great quality but are highly expensive.

They have about the same price as MSI in Denmark, so i think i'll stick to EVGA :) both are around 310$

One thing to consider is support - taking a look at a company's support page can provide a bit of insight to what to expect. Great-engineering is one thing, but considering the investment, you've also got to consider the support end for extended use.

Oh, I see. Yeah, If I were going to drop that much I'd definitely go with EVGA.

Do not get an Asus P5KPL-C.

It came with my PC and it's really not very good.

Max of 4GB RAM, only one PCI-E slot and its a socket 775.

A Mobo isn't bad just because it's designed for lower tier hardware. That one is fine alongside a core2duo and 4GB of ram.

OP would obviously get something on the level of the rest of his components.
