#1
NVIDIA
3.9
(11)
"Great for home server use without needing transcoding."
"The performance upgrade from 1080 Ti to 3080 Ti was dramatic, achieving a constant 144 fps compared to 60 fps."
"Highly recommended to carry high-value high-depreciation items with you. In my case I brought my GPU so I don't need to buy another 1070."
"Unmatched graphics quality and speed."
"Installing a graphics card is an extremely easy job."
"The GPU is crucial for handling the animations in late-game scenarios."
"I play in WQHD window mode with hardly any stuttering or freezes."
"I use the Quadro K2000 and am pretty happy with it even for an older and cheaper card in the production line."
"The graphics card does nothing for performance, even at 1440p."
"The 1080 Ti struggled in late game scenarios, only reaching 60 fps."

Memory Express

"Memory Express is honestly the only place I would go. They are numero uno."
"Memory Express is great. We don't always have the lowest price but we have a very generous price beat policy."
"Memory Express is the best, but if you want faster turn around, [I know a guy…](http://www.sandhucomputers.com/)"
"[Memory Express](http://www.memoryexpress.com)"
"Memory Express is good but lacks the bartering option."
"Memory Express has gotten more of my business over the last few years."
#3
AMD
3.8
(5)
"You'll save money, and you can do the entire install in well under an hour."
"While the CPU is more important, a good GPU still enhances the experience."
"I'm surprised at how much AMD has gotten out in front of Intel the last few years."
"Buy the best you can afford. AMD is cheap so go for that."
"Constant FPS drops even on low settings, making the game feel unplayable."
#4
Intel
4.8
(4)
"Incredible performance for gaming and multitasking."
"Get yourself an i5-2500K and overclock it for great performance."
"An old Pentium 4 overclocked to 4.5GHz is going to be close to the best possible Dwarf Fortress machine."
"Intel Xeon processors are recommended for transcoding and handling multiple sessions."
#5
Mysterybyte

(3)
"Great customer service. They replaced the RAM with compatible sticks and refunded me the difference."

"Mysterybyte is also solid."
