Just from my personal experience, I won't ever again buy anything Gigabyte branded. If you want it to last 6 years it won't with Gigabyte. Bad warranty coverage, bad customer service, bad build. For power supply I have EVGA. No issues. Motherboard I have Asus TUF series in my builds. For monitor, I use AOC. The customer service I got from them when I screwed up and cracked mine unexpected in a great way.
Oh and I'm jealous of the rest of the build. I want that graphic card.
Oh yeah it was discovered that they had backdoors in their motherboards. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-motherboards-come-with-a-firmware-backdoor
Yikes! That's pretty shady. I never cam across that article, thanks for mentioning it! Gonna swap that motherboard asap
Okay, thanks for letting me know. I might go for an MSI or Asus motherboard then. I think the Gigabyte board was just a couple euros cheaper but it was insignificant :D
