My experience with graphics card brands is limited to MSI and EVGA, both of which have been 100% solid grade A performers for me.
Motherboards, I've used ASUS and MSI and both have been solid.

In my experience MSI has been a middle of the road brand and the few EVGA products i've had(motherboard, video card) have been garbage. I have an MSI gaming laptop and it's quite cheaply made for being top of the line in it's time(980 gtx + I7)
