Yes personal preference for specs matching to some extent. If you want strong performance then specific CPU and graphic cards so often requires testing it out. I keep tab on tom's hardware articles for that reason. I get idea on specific performance specific cards and CPUs.
I think the more I keep things around with me while moving the apartment. Harder it gets for me to shift them. I wish to get rid of them this year. Maybe sell it on ebay or similar places.
To be honest, both can be good depends on which spec to go with what. I think for generic use NVIDIA aint bad. But if in case of Ryzen and their graphic cards combo. I think that would be good.
