AMD brands, does it really make a difference? (alien.top)

So i was a long time Nvidia user, and now i think it is time for me to join the Red Team side.

I was thinking about buying the RX 7800 xt, and iam between the Sapphire Nitro+ and the Asus TUF, the price difference between these two is almost 50 CAD. I know the Nitro+ is getting huge positive reviews when it comes to performance, but i could use the price difference to get a better CPU or RAM.

My question: Is there a big difference when it comes to the build quality, cooling and longtivity between these two brands?

As far as Nvidia, I generally went Asus or MSI.

For AMD I'd go Sapphire or PowerColor.

There are definitely brands I avoided though. Back when I had an Nvidia card, I shied away from EVGA mainly due to how many people seemed to know how amazing their customer service was and recommend them based mostly on that, gave me the impression their cards had reliability issues.

For AMD I'd personally stay away from anything not reference (Sapphire I think), Sapphire, Powercolor or possibly XFX.
