well i wouldnt say trust em. but i went with nvidia and intel because they had the best hardware out when i was making my PC. AMD didnt have what i wanted and ati didnt have there DX10 cards available when i was in the market. thats what it boiled down to for me.
When it comes to graphics cards, I tend to go with whomever seems to have the best hardware at the time which appears to be Nvidia right now.
Processors though, I tend to stick with AMD. I wouldnt say I'm a fanboy, I fully admit the intel chips are on top right now, but I am partial to AMD and I think we'd all be a lot worse off without them to compete with intel. Still, I'd switch to intel for my next build if the X2 6000+ werent so dang cheap right now.
Right now I'm using ATI (X1900XT) and Intel (E6600). I don't plan on getting too far into the next generation though - after the 8-series and HD2k series have passed I'll possibly consider an upgrade.
My cpu should do fine for a while, I'd probably just get the best bang for buck dx10 card this xmas if my 7800 stuggles which it probably will, so if ati come out with something good I'll get otherwise it will probably be nvidia

The first person who says "best bang for the buck" regardless of anything :D Wow.
I currently have intel/nvidia. I used to love ati, but when I tried an nvidia card (8800 gts 640mb) I don't think I will switch back too soon. Have had awesome performance, support, and decent prices.
i used to have amd/ati years ago but gave up on amd/ati because i had soo many problems with them and just got fed up , i moved to an nvidia 7800gtx and wow ive stayed with them ever since, intels c2d and quad kick sum major a** performance to money wise.
Anyways im using Intel c2d E6600, Nvidia XFX 8800 Ultra XXX :D Intel/Nvida FTW !
I'm getting a 2600XT soon. When that starts to have trouble in new games, I'll either get another one and CrossFire it or a 8800GTS if their any cheaper then.
I currently have a 4600+, but I may upgrade to Phenom if Quad core is supported well.
For right now my mind is set at nvidia intel but i will have to update my motherboard soon, but i might make the switch over to amd for the phenoms and the 790X.
