Gotta admit I like AMD CPU's as well. One of my fav's from a build long ago was the AthlonXP 2500. Barton core, extremely overclockable.
With GPU's I was a RADEON guy, though now I'll probably buy either. I still have a 9700PRO brand new in the box from ages ago. Also have a old A-BIT mobo brand new in the box based on the nVidia2 chipset. My fav was the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe NVidia 2 chipset. At the time was the best. Another overclockers dream board.
