    cpu - intel although id be happy to move over to amd if i had a very tight budget

    mobo - asus all the way although did have a very good experience with an xfx board (geforce 9300/730i)

    ram - corsair

    gpu - nvidia but would go to amd if not enough in the budget, board partner makes no difference to me, had 3 powercolors that have all been great(8800gt, radeon 9550 and current 4890pcs+) and a n xfx(gtx 260 BE)

    psu - corsair

    hdd - samsung

    cases - silverstone and fractal design

    case - lian li (best cases on the market hands down)

    psu - seasonic or enermax (haven't made up my mind)

    mobo - EVGA (but I do like the asus ROG series)

    cpu - intel (just because they are much better performance than amd atm)

    ram - mushkin (the ridge back series looks awesome)

    cooler - thermochill (they do the best water cooling parts by a long way imo)

    gpu - EVGA (10 year warrenty and still valid if you water cool :rock:)

    hdd - OCZ (there vertex 3 series look awesome got to get one myself)

    sound card - asus (brilliant little card, and no problem with driver either)

    monitor - NEC (love my EA231WMi, also only decent monitor I have owned)

    keyboard - don't have a favourite yet, need to get a mechanical keyboard not to happy with my G11
    make to way to many mistakes with it

    mouse - logitech (this is easy because of their G9x epic mouse)

    speakers - DIY speakers are the best

    Headphones - don't have a favourite as I have only owned 1 pair (the triton ax pro's) and I don't like them, got to RMA them they have already started to break, I bought them in February.
