If you're building on a budget and the current best price/performance ratio for that budget is a product from AMD or Intel or Nvidia or whatever, then get what's best for your build and don't worry about some fool screaming "i7/Radeon/Nvidia only or forget about it."
I partly agree on that.
You do want quality products in the end. Like someone mentioned on an earlier post, brands do matter. Or at the VERY least, take heed to the majority reviews about a product on Newegg.Â
Which brand, however, is more personal opinion. Like there is a debate of which processor is better, Intel or AMD? Or which graphics card, Radeon or nVidia?Â
You do NOT, however, need the LATEST Intel or AMD processor, or the BEST nVidia or Radeon GPU money can buy; which I believe Allgivenover is alluding to. Such as, you don't NEED the Intel i7 because the i5 will work just fine.Â
As for the graphics card, say you like nVidia, their GeForce GTX 780 is like their latest out there. There is NO need to go for that because a GeForce GTX 660 will easily do the job. Or whatever equivalent if you go with a different brand.
