Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes they do change the brand based on availability... brand DOES matter, but they usually stick to the same few brands from what I've seen, so you don't have to worry about getting a sub par generic piece o crap. It's gonna probably be an EVGA, MSI, or XFX. At least you know what you got this way, if you buy a PC from a large manufacturer they remove all original branding and just put the brand of the computer on the GPU, PSU, Cooler, etc

So, to answer your question the brand doesn't really matter but if in the rare case you don't like the performance/brand specific, then you can return it to Best Buy for a refund. Of course check with your local Best Buy for specific details.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will get a name brand, just what brand it is, is up to question. The best thing to do is open it up, (in store) see what GPU it is and research it, from my review all the name brands perform about the same, give or take a few FPS, temps are similar, with one fan GPU being the worse, so it its just 1 fan, skip it. All will OC, some a little better then others. You will find that the major parts are all brand name, Hard Drive, Memory, GPU, CPU, the unknown brand/grey market stuff are usually the PSU, CPU cooler... And if I recall, you have 30 days to return.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I called IBP prior to purchasing mine. I pretty much was wondering the same thing. They assured me for GPUs they use name brand pieces. What they told me was either Asus (which I got), Evga, Gigabyte, MSI, or Zotac. Hope this helps.
