Homemade gaming PCs: which manufacturer do the graphics card, SSD and case come from? 288 comments

Weekly Sunday questions often focus on the specifications of the latest hardware, but rarely on the manufacturers. Today it’s different: which manufacturer does the processor in your self-made gaming PC come from, which manufacturer does the motherboard come from, what about the case and who is responsible for the graphics card ?

Summary :

Do you have at least one PC built yourself?

The editorial team repeatedly asks on Sunday which class of graphics card is installed in the home gaming computer, how high the resolution of the displays is or how many watts the power supply delivers. Apart from the specifications, it is rarely about the manufacturer of the components you have chosen. This week is completely different, today the focus is on the manufacturers of seven central components of a gaming PC. Of course, these questions are only particularly relevant if there was a corresponding choice when l purchase because the computer has been completely configured and assembled by you. Is this your case?

If you didn’t answer “yes” to this survey, unfortunately today’s Sunday Question is already over at this point. An abstention during the next seven ballots gives the result of the vote of PC amateurs.

Which manufacturer does the hardware for the self-built PC come from?

It starts – unsurprisingly – with the processor. The selection here is still very manageable when it comes to home-made gaming PCs – although Apple is now an established processor manufacturer and Qualcomm is also jumping into the market, Intel and AMD still haven’t yet. alternative for self-builders.

The freedom of choice is significantly greater for the other six questions. For clarity, only manufacturers for whom a high level of participation can potentially be expected are represented as a separate response option. If you cannot find your components, you can report on the forum which manufacturer they come from. The vast majority of gaming PCs should still be covered by the motherboard survey.

Next comes RAM. Just a few weeks ago there was a Sunday question dedicated to this topic, but the question about the manufacturer should not be missing here for the sake of completeness.

Crucial graphics card question

We continue with perhaps the most important, prestigious and probably most expensive component of the gaming PC for gamers, the graphics card. This should explicitly not be about the GPU manufacturer itself, but rather the custom design card partner. The Nvidia, AMD and Intel answer options therefore refer exclusively to the reference designs of the three GPU manufacturers, namely Nvidia Founders Edition, Made by AMD and Arc Limited Edition.

In order not to further inflate Sunday’s question, the mass storage survey is limited to primary SSD. What about users who are still using a hard drive as the primary operating system drive at the end of 2024? Well, they have the deepest condolences of the entire Techoutil editorial team.

Aside from cooling, which is left aside today to perhaps be discussed separately in a future Sunday question, there is still one component missing before the gaming PC is basically functional: the power supply. Which manufacturer does your model come from?

In principle not necessary, but above all very useful: accommodation

Finally, there remains one more component that is basically useless for the operation of a functional gaming PC, but which can usually prove very useful and is used accordingly. We’re talking about the case – and which manufacturer does it come from?

Participation is expressly desired

As always, the editorial team is happy to receive well-founded and detailed reasons for your decisions in the comments to the current Sunday issue. If you personally have completely different opinions that are not covered by the answer options offered in the article surveys, you can also report them on the forum. Ideas and suggestions for adding content to current or future surveys are also welcome.

Readers who have not yet responded to the previous Sunday’s questions are encouraged to do so, as surveys always take place over a 30-day period. The only condition to participate is a free Techacteur account. There are often still exciting discussions going on on the forum, especially regarding questions from last Sunday.
